Reducing Illegal Dumping in Pennsylvania

The William Penn Foundation is requesting proposals for the Reducing Illegal Dumping in Philadelphia. Donor Name: William Penn Foundation State: Pennsylvania City: Philadelphia Type of Grant: Grant Deadline: 10/25/2024 Size of the Grant: More than $1 million Grant Duration: 3 Years Details: Illegal dumping is a major concern for Philadelphia residents. Sixty percent of respondents to a Lenfest Institute for Journalism/SSRS poll indicated that reducing dumping should be a top priority for the city. This concern was expressed with particular intensity by the survey’s low-income, Latino, and Black respondents. The focus on reducing dumping is not surprising, since research indicates that reduced illegal dumping is related to decreases in crime, increases in outdoor physical activity, increases in property values, and more positive feelings about residents’ neighbors and neighborhoods. Organizations that propose projects in partnership with other applicants will be considered on their individual merits. However, the Foundation recognizes that making significant progress on the objective is difficult and encourages organizations to include partnerships that leverage complementary strengths, resources, and expertise to reach proposed goals. Funding Information WPF has $5 million available to advance this objective through this RFP for one- to three-year projects. Eligibility Criteria  Applicants must be recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as 501(c)3 public charities or operate under a public charity fiduciary. Public charities include community-based organizations, schools and educational institutions, and other types of public-serving groups. Government entities are also eligible to apply. Proposed projects must occur in Philadelphia. For more information, visit WPF.
