Neighborhood Equitable Recovery Fund Ends on

Bread & Roses Community Fund, in partnership with the City of Philadelphia Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity is launching the Neighborhood Equitable Recovery Fund to support community-based nonprofit organizations that  work in areas of Philadelphia that have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Groups that are experiencing financial hardship; are at risk of closing; or have substantially reduced services due to the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are encouraged to apply.

Grants of $15,000 will be made to community-based nonprofit organizations that represent communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic around issues including, but not limited to: health education, food distribution, family support, and community organizing to address barriers to support. Priority will be given to organizations where community members are in positions of leadership, where their lived experience is honored, where their knowledge influences the work and where they meaningfully participate in program design and implementation.

Organizations may use funds to support payroll, rent, mortgage payments, utilities, or other operating expenses; and to provide and organize mutual aid projects for their members.
