The Philadelphia Foundation is pleased to announce YOUTHadelphia’s grantmaking priorities for Spring 2018. A total of up to $50,000 in grants will be available for organizations with youth-led programs/projects serving primarily low-income youth of color. Programs/projects will have a combination of social and political factors embedded within its curriculum.
Priority consideration for funding will be given to programs/projects that address the following issue areas:
• Youth Wellness

• Young Women’s Empowerment
• College Awareness/Readiness
YOUTHadelphia is a diverse committee of youth from across Philadelphia who come together to assess the needs of their peers and make grants to organizations working to meet those needs. YOUTHadelphia is the Youth-in-Philanthropy advisory committee of the Fund for Children.
Organizations that provide services within the YOUTHadelphia priority areas are invited to attend the Request for Proposal Open House at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 15 at 1835 Market, Suite 2410, Philadelphia.
