Description

This grant opportunity from the William Penn Foundation aims to support the development of community-based climate resilience plans in the cities of Philadelphia, Camden, and Chester. The program is designed to help communities most affected by historical disinvestment prepare for and adapt to climate change impacts such as extreme heat, flooding, and rising sea levels. Grants will fund collaborative, place-based planning processes that engage local residents, assess vulnerabilities, and produce actionable, implementable plans to guide future resilience investments. Authentic community engagement, partnership building, and transparent planning are emphasized as essential steps toward effective adaptation and long-term community well-being.
