Ideal Applicant
A Philadelphia-area nonprofit (especially arts, education, or local health programs) seeking modest program or project support in the roughly $5K–$25K range and able to apply through PNC’s charitable trust application process.
Good Fit
- • Operational presence in Philadelphia or elsewhere in Pennsylvania.
- • Programmatic focus in arts, K–12 education, or community health.
- • Requests sized for small to mid-level grants (about $5K–$25K).
- • Clear local impact and a concise project or program budget.
- • Willingness to use PNC’s application portal or follow filing/address submission instructions and to contact named program staff.
Geography
Observed grants over the last three years were made only in Pennsylvania, with filings and PNC materials identifying a Philadelphia-area focus.
Recipient Variety
Each year the foundation funded multiple independent organizations (4 recipients in 2024, 2 in 2023, 4 in 2022) across arts, education, and health, which indicates a modestly diverse recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation lists a public application route and named program contacts via PNC, and recent years show new recipients each year with no repeats across the three-year window, supporting a strong likelihood that unfamiliar local applicants can access funding.
