Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Grants
Welcome to the Friends Funding Directory
In this web version of the Friends Funding Directory, we extend Philadelphia Yearly Meeting's commitment to transparent grantmaking and encourage other Quaker funds to join us in this effort. We are grateful that so many have done so. The directory presents a reasonably accurate view of Quaker grantmaking activity in our area. We hope that the level of detail on how funds were established will inspire Friends to consider what legacy they may leave for future generations. (Continue reading the introduction.)
