Neighborhood Funding Stream

The Philadelphia Empowerment ZoneIn 2004, the City of Philadelphia Empowerment Zone (EZ) and United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania (UWSEPA) announced their partnership in a signature project called the Neighborhood Funding Stream. Established by the members of the local Community Trust Boards in the American Street and North Central Empowerment Zones, this neighborhood endowment will make grants available to community organizations that address selected funding priorities.

 

Guiding Principles

As a legacy of the Philadelphia Empowerment Zone, the mission of the Neighborhood Funding Stream is to support sustainable community and economic development efforts in a culturally and ethnically diverse community. The Neighborhood Funding Stream will contribute to a healthy, self-sufficient and safe environment for community members and residents.
