This grant program, administered by The Philadelphia Foundation in partnership with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, provides funding to community-based organizations working in Philadelphia. The focus is on supporting projects that address community revitalization, neighborhood beautification, and environmental justice, particularly those that help prevent crime, drug use, and violence. The fund is established under state law and a federal court order requiring forfeited assets to be used for anti-crime and anti-narcotics efforts. Priority is given to organizations with small to medium-sized budgets and those serving under-resourced neighborhoods.
