On The Table Activate Grants

Activate Grants

Philadelphia Foundation has provided $50,000 to implement ideas to improve the region that were generated through On the Table Philly conversations on Oct. 17, 2019.

 

The projects funded through these grants will support a variety of topics – census participation, small ongoing conversations, working with schools on gun violence, helping college students destigmatize mental health challenges and more – all of which were inspired by On the Table Philly conversations.

 

The grants focused in general on civic participation. Twelve projects selected for funding will promote participation in the 2020 census.
