Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability, with support of the Philadelphia Environmental Justice Advisory Commission and William Penn Foundation, is launching the Community Resilience & Environmental Justice Fund. This Fund will support community groups working to ensure that all Philadelphia residents have a livable community, free of environmental toxins and hazards. This means:
- Clean air, land, and water
- Healthy, fresh, and culturally appropriate foods
- Homes, jobs, and neighborhoods free from pollutants and toxins
- Communities that are resilient to the impacts of climate change, such as flooding and extreme heat
In recognition of the fact that communities in Philadelphia have been working to address these issues, this Fund will provide a 12-month grant of $10,000 to organizations and projects working towards long-term environmental justice in Philadelphia. These funds must be used within 12 months of being awarded. $150,000 is available for community organizations in this round of funding. This Grant Fund will award $10,000 awards to 15 organizations in this grant round.
