The Philadelphia Public School Giving Circle (PPSGC) is a collective philanthropy initiative designed to empower donors to make a meaningful impact on Philadelphia’s neighborhood public schools through targeted micro-grants. Founded by three passionate community members, the PPSGC pools donations from individuals or tight-knit groups, and allocates these funds to support small-scale, high-impact projects in underserved schools throughout the city. PPSGC membership starts at the $250 level.
How the Giving Circle works
The Philadelphia Public School Giving Circle empowers donors by inviting them to actively participate in the decision-making process regarding grant allocations. All members have the opportunity to vote on micro grant proposals submitted by local educators and school staff on a quarterly basis. Your contributions will not only support vital projects, but also connect you with the initiatives that resonate most with you, giving you a meaningful voice in helping to support our public schools.
