The William Penn Foundation is proud to support the Next Great City initiative, a growing coalition of groups advocating a better future for Philadelphia through cost effective, common sense strategies designed to improve our city’s quality of life and economic competitiveness. More than 60 diverse community, public health, environmental, and civic organizations have united through the Next Great City campaign, representing a broad cross-section of people who share the belief that Philadelphia is on the rise, but must do more to sustain the growth and progress that parts of the city have experienced in recent years.
Coordinated by Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future, the Next Great City initiative has developed an agenda calling for 10 immediate actions to improve the quality of life in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods. At the Next Great City website, you can also register for updates and learn more about joining the coalition.
