At Philadelphia Foundation, our commitment to the city and the broader Greater Philadelphia region has continuously guided our efforts. In 2024 we've seen tangible results in our communities through impactful initiatives. From the Civic Coalition to Save Lives which has made a measurable difference in reducing gun violence in Philadelphia to our joint grant program Art Works, which has increased accessibility to the arts.
