As part of our ongoing efforts to encourage philanthropic engagement in the 2020 Census, Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia has partnered with Philly Counts 2020 to launch the Philly Counts 2020 Action Fund.
United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey announced a $500,000 matching grant, with the goal ofraising $1 million in new funding to target greater engagement of historically undercounted groups in the city and region in the 2020 Census.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the challenges faced by working mothers, but it has also provided an opportunity to not only address longstanding inequities but to strive for healing and change of systems that have consistently put women at a disadvantage.
As philanthropy continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, foundations, corporate giving programs and others have an opportunity to redirect and commit resources to rebuild a system desperately begging for change.
By implementing a bipartisan solutions approach, this partnership will seek to address systemic inequities impacting communities nationwide.
