Phila. Public School Giving Circle Round of Funding, Apply by Dec 18

Posted by Philadelphia Public School Giving Circle on December 17, 2019

We are pleased to announce the 2019/20 grant cycle of the Philadelphia Public School Giving Circle (PPSGC). The PPSGC is a Donor-Advised Fund dedicated solely to providing small, timely grants to support traditional neighborhood public elementary schools in disadvantaged communities. The Circle is governed cooperatively by the group of founding and additional Donors, who make funding decisions on a rolling basis approximately once or twice per year. The PPSCG is designed as a nimble, small-grant fund to cover basic needs (including enrichment activities outside of school) in those schools in which such are hard or impossible to cover by other means.

The typical grants are $250 up to $500 maximum. The intended grant recipient is a teacher, principal, leader of a Home & School or Friends group, or other supporter of a local public elementary school.

The PPSGC is supported by The Philadelphia Foundation and the Philadelphia Crosstown Coalition (http://www.philacrosstown.org/).
