The Philadelphia Foundation wanted to create an open access model that would provide capacity support not just to grantees, but to nonprofits throughout Philadelphia who have been declined from grants.
In 2016, The Philadelphia Foundation partnered with Catchafire to develop the Key Skills Hub program, a centralized marketplace for volunteering. With the open access model, the Foundation extended their reach to over 300
local nonprofits.
The Philadelphia Foundation aims to enhance quality of life and accelerate positive change in the Greater Philadelphia region by encouraging collaboration among the region's nonprofits, businesses, and residents.
Last year, the Foundation had nearly five times its return on investment (ROI).
By working with volunteers on critical projects, their most engaged grantees have seen hundreds of thousands of dollars in nonprofit value created.
As we embark on the seventh year of our partnership, we’re excited to grow the Foundation’s grantees and accelerate community impact in Philadelphia.
We've partnered with over 100 foundations and companies to create $250 million in nonprofit value. Request a demo to learn if we're a right fit for your organization.
