Help Grantmakers Find the Right Match for Their Money .

If you are ready to tell private and public funders how your agency makes a vital impact on the community you serve, then register with Southeastern Pennsylvania’s most comprehensive database of health and human service providers  — the Regional Registry of Social Services (R2S2).  This is a unique opportunity to let funders know what your organization has done and what it’s capable of doing as they make decisions about where to invest their dollars.

Take a Step to Increase Your Agency’s Visibility and Credibility.

Your agency changes lives and has a critical impact on the community it serves. Take a step that will make your work better known to funders, place your agency in an environment that enhances its profile and highlights the results you achieve for the people you serve.

Become part of a data base of social service agencies that will expose your agency to the leading funders in the region. This informational resource of credible, effective agencies doing invaluable work for communities across the five-county area will become a starting place for grantmakers searching for the right match for their money. R2S2 can also help assure that funders are informed of your agency’s mission and accomplishments.

The registry is sponsored by the region’s leading funders— The William Penn Foundation, The Philadelphia Foundation, the Nonprofit Finance Fund and United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania —who are committing resources to the promotion and use of R2S2 within the philanthropic community.

Take Your Agency to a New Level: Assess Your Strengths, Address Your Soft Spots.

The R2S2 is also your tool. The on-line registry questionnaire will guide you through an internal evaluation of organizational strengths and weaknesses that will help make your grant proposals stronger.

Funders are increasingly interested in the governance and management practices of potential grantees. Wherever you are in the vast range of social service providers, R2S2 will help you make a critical analysis of your organization’s capacity and make sure your grant application is as comprehensive and effective as possible.

Social service providers who complete R2S2 will obtain access to a snapshot of how they compare to counterparts offering similar services and will be registered for notification of funding opportunities, training sessions and other agency-strengthening resources.

Take Some Time to Join the Registry . . . Let Funders Know Who You Are, What You Do, and Where You Do It..

R2S2, the Regional Registry of Social Services, is a thorough questionnaire best completed by agency leaders – CEOs, COOs and financial officers -- who can provide accurate, current information describing your organization and how it makes a difference to your client base. The registration questionnaire will require a thoughtful and authoritative response to positioning your work and accomplishments. Joining the Registry is well worth the time invested in providing this profile to the funders who determine where philanthropic and public program dollars are invested.

You know your agency changes lives every day. Whether your mission is to help children, families, seniors, immigrants, disabled individuals, or people battling their way past a variety of obstacles, complete R2S2 so the region's grantmakers can help you secure the resources you need.
