The William Penn Foundation seeks to support out-of-school arts education opportunities in community-based settings for young people across the Philadelphia region to participate in equitable, inclusive, and high-quality, hands-on arts education led by skilled teaching artists. In particular, we are most interested in prioritizing support for programs that are culturally relevant and make it possible for youth to engage as leaders and drivers of their own learning experiences. We seek to fund programs that are youth-informed or youth-centered, as developmentally appropriate.

• A program may focus on a single or multiple arts disciplines as long as it is hands-on arts learning led by skilled teaching artists and arts educators.
• Programs must exclusively serve children between ages 5 and 18.
• Programs are to be offered at little or no cost to the youth/families/caregivers, reaching primarily (75% or more) young people coming from low-income households.

We are requesting proposals for projects up to three years in duration to connect young people in the Greater Philadelphia region with out-of-school arts education opportunities in their communities. The arts education opportunities should be driven by the young people’s creativity and interests and support their personal development and growth. These programs will primarily engage youth outside of school time and offer opportunities to pursue arts learning at any point during the year, including the summer.

Starting in 2008, the Foundation dedicated one of its three annual grant-making cycles to the Educational Leadership Grant program— larger grants to fewer schools— that was initially by invitation only. Beginning with the 2018 agenda, the Foundation allowed schools to pursue placement on an Educational Leadership Grant Agenda without first being invited to do so. The Foundation Board wants these Educational Leadership Grants to be generative. We seek proposals that:

• Promise a significant impact on the practice and thinking in the independent school community throughout the country
• Are innovative and replicable
• Have a “ripple” effect where the benefits of the successful pursuit of an idea will not be limited to a single school
• Encourage bold, new ideas that address challenges faced by independent schools
• Represent original thinking and can conceivably catalyze change
• Inspire creative problem-solving and incubate novel approaches
• Involve partnerships outside of the immediate school community when appropriate

Furthermore, Educational Leadership Grants are awarded based on the quality of the proposal and other considerations in terms of the school’s operation, but it does not favor certain areas of independent school work.

The City of Philadelphia and the School District of Philadelphia has announced a new opportunity for young Philadelphians to receive $3,000–$5,000 in funding to bring their ideas for cleaner, greener and more resilient communities to life through the Bloomberg Philanthropies Youth Climate Action Fund (YCAF).

Young people ages 15–24 can work together to propose projects addressing challenges they see in their schools and neighborhoods, including extreme heat, flooding, illegal dumping, air quality and community greening. Projects must be meaningfully led by at least two young people.

“Young Philadelphians know their neighborhoods. They know the challenges their communities face, and they have ideas about how we can make them better,” said Mayor Cherelle L. Parker. “Our job is to give them the opportunity and the resources to put those ideas into action. Whether it is planting trees, cleaning and greening a vacant lot, reducing flooding or finding creative ways to keep communities cooler, these investments will help our young people make a visible difference in the Philadelphia they call home.”
