Description
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office Forfeiture Fund, offered through The Philadelphia Foundation, supports community-based anti-crime and anti-narcotics organizations working with Philadelphia residents. It uses assets forfeited to the District Attorney’s Office under the Pennsylvania Controlled Substances Forfeiture Act and a February 17, 2021 court order. This final 2026 cycle focuses on elder safety, community mental health, and safe business corridors.
Supported work includes elder abuse and financial exploitation prevention, services for older victims, neighborhood safety, and reducing social isolation. Mental health priorities include accessible counseling, behavioral health services, trauma recovery, youth mental health, crisis intervention, and conflict mediation. Business corridor efforts may include safety partnerships, community ambassadors, outreach workers, and merchant-led safety strategies that strengthen neighborhood economic vitality.
