The Pew Charitable Trusts and Harris Philanthropies have each given $2 million to help bring two leadership development programs to 100 Philadelphia-area nonprofit executive teams.
Developed by the Center for High Impact Philanthropy at the University of Pennsylvania and Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia with support from William Penn and Lenfest Foundations, the dashboard is one of the first efforts to collect grants data from numerous pooled giving funds and share it publicly, mapped against demographic and economic data.
Partners funding the report acknowledge that the risk the sector faces today during a pandemic is the result of a system that was not financially stable pre-COVID that must be fixed.
Up to $100,000 in grants may be awarded through each of three programs: Nonprofit Planning, Arts & Culture Ramp-up, and "You Are Here," to foster human connection in Berks County.
With new data about the financial health of Greater Philadelphia nonprofits combined with troubling trends due to COVID-19, it's clear that collaboration will be a vital strategy for both nonprofits and funders if the sector is to continue to provide essential services and stimulate innovation that advances social purpose.
Building on their respective strengths, the two organizations have entered into a partnership to support regional nonprofits considering sustained alliances.
New program delivered by Nonprofit Finance Fund provides financial expertise and coaching to a diverse group of nonprofit leaders as they adapt and rebuild from impacts of COVID-19.
The Neighborhood Equitable Recovery Fund is a partnership between the Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity (CEO) and Bread & Roses Community Fund that will support grassroots neighborhood nonprofit organizations that serve communities of color and those with low incomes, which have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With a lead gift from Facebook’s $20 Million “Supporting Black Communities” National Initiative, the new fund will fortify Black-led nonprofit organizations serving Black communities in Greater Philadelphia.
