The mission of the Patricia Kind Family Foundation in Lower Gwynedd is to financially assist Philadelphia organizations that help those struggling daily with racial and economic injustices.
The foundation invites applications from Philadelphia organizations for its grants program. The foundation encourages practical and caring community solutions to poverty through supporting direct service, capacity building, and mission-related investments. This includes helping individuals and families obtain physical and mental health care and related human services, such as food, shelter, clothing, and education. In addition to continuing its primary focus of direct service general operating support to help communities struggling with the impacts of poverty, the foundation is also supporting capacity and collaboration building efforts.
Additionally, the foundation is reaffirming its commitment to fund smaller Philadelphia organizations that assist historically marginalized communities with operating budgets less than $1 million.
Most grants awarded are in the range of $10,000 to $25,000 per year for a three-year period. Organizations are encouraged to apply for multi-year general operating support funds.
To be eligible, applicant must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or have a letter from a fiscal agent outlining their relationship. Organizations must operate and serve community members in Philadelphia County.
