Claim Your Money PHL Campaign – Dec 1
The Philadelphia Office of Community Empowerment & Opportunity and the Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation announce a new grant opportunity for community-based organizations interested in conducting grassroots outreach to connect more Philadelphians to important tax benefits.
Thanks in large part to the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC), Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and stimulus payments, the national child poverty rate decreased dramatically by 46 percent and fell to the lowest level on record in 2021. The work of our community partners in educating residents about CTC and EITC, and connecting them to free tax preparation, made a big difference here in Philadelphia.
The CTC and EITC are worth thousands of dollars, helping individuals provide for themselves and for their families. CEO is proud to coordinate the City of Philadelphia’s efforts to ensure that this money gets to those who need it most and are often hard to reach by partnering with our trusted community messengers. And we are excited to team up again with Scattergood because they have a strong track record of working with community partners to advance equity.
The goal is to fund 10 to 20 organizations for proposals of $5,000 to $20,000 each. Proposals for greater than $20,000 will be considered if they have the potential to make a significant impact on the number of Philadelphians reached.
Organizations whose staff, board, and/or volunteers include representation from the communities this project aims to reach are encouraged to apply.
Click here for more information and to submit an application. Click on the ‘Claim Your Money PHL Grants’ application to apply.
An optional briefing session will be held for potential applicants on Thursday, November 3rd at 3pm. You must register in advance for this briefing by clicking here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

The Urban Institute and the Microsoft Justice Reform Initiative are collaborating on the Catalyst Grant Program to help organizations use data and technology to advance racial equity and reform at the front end of the criminal legal system.
Catalyst Grant Program goals include the following: create a space for locally embedded nonprofit organizations to implement data- and technology-focused projects to advance racial equity and reform in the criminal legal system in the focus areas of prevention, policing, and prosecution; enhance the technological and data capacity of nonprofit organizations focused on promoting justice and racial equity through technical assistance, peer-learning opportunities, and financial support; and disseminate innovative practices and lessons learned during implementation to stakeholders throughout the criminal legal reform community.
Through the program, grants will be awarded to support local activities related to advancing racial equity and reform in the front end of the adult criminal legal system through data and technology. Selected applicants will receive $40,000 in grant funds; assistance on data, policy, and community engagement from the Urban Institute; access to Microsoft technology and related support; and peer learning opportunities.
Projects must focus on reform and racial equity in the front end of the criminal legal system (i.e., prevention, policing, and prosecution). Projects must also incorporate data and technology and be locally focused.
Projects are not required to use Microsoft technology. Projects that use Microsoft technology in ways integral to the proposed data and technology activities will be eligible for additional in-kind technology access and support.
To be eligible, lead organizations must be locally embedded 501(c)(3) organizations based in the U.S., excluding colleges and universities. There is a focus on those organizations embedded in communities of color, particularly Black communities.
