Core PrinciplesLong-Term Focus: We focus on work that will strengthen the region's viability and sustainability for the long term, rather than confining our efforts to short-term goals. Integration: Whenever possible, we integrate grantmaking throughout rural, suburban, and urban areas of the Philadelphia region and across Foundation grantmaking categories. Achievability: We support work that is based on sound objectives and measurement practices, is ambitious but achievable, and is relevant to our grantmaking capacity to contribute. We understand that success is predicated on the presence of social capital and viable partners and on sharing and applying insights learned from previous work in the field. Leverage: We focus on work that has a multiplier effect; we seek points of leverage, including alignment of interests across the private and public sectors. Relevance: We regularly and consistently ask our community for information regarding significant challenges faced by our region and for feedback about the value and effectiveness of our work and the relevance of our planned future directions.
