About Accessmatters
Accessmatters uses a large share of its grantmaking to administer public health funding streams for sexual and reproductive health care in southeastern Pennsylvania, with recent awards clustering around family planning, HIV services, breast and cervical cancer screening, and health resource center capacity. The foundation’s work is not limited to direct service grants; it also channels block grant funding and targeted public health dollars through partner agencies and health systems. A core part of that pattern is repeated support for Philadelphia providers. City of Philadelphia - Ambulatory Health Services received the largest recent award, at $2,055,525 in 2023, followed by a $1,928,889 grant in 2024. Planned Parenthood Southeast PA Inc also appears repeatedly in the recent grants list, including awards of $833,481 in 2024 and $730,994 in 2023 for block-grant-supported services and health resource center work. Other recurring partners include Drexel University - St Christopher Hospital, Temple Faculty Practice Plan Inc, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Across these awards, Accessmatters funds service delivery, preventive screening, reproductive health, and care navigation through organizations already embedded in the local care network.
What Accessmatters Funds
Family planning is a major thread in Accessmatters’ grantmaking. The City of Philadelphia - Ambulatory Health Services received $2,055,525 in 2023 and $1,928,889 in 2024 for family planning and related block-grant-supported services. Temple Faculty Practice Plan Inc also received $595,602 in 2023 and $481,441 in 2024, with those awards tied to family planning and breast and cervical cancer early detection. The foundation also supports reproductive health services through hospitals, HIV-oriented providers, and community organizations. Drexel University - St Christopher Hospital received $790,117 in 2024 and $770,870 in 2023 for reproductive health and related care, while Bebashi received $336,503 in 2023 and $162,784 in 2024 for reproductive health. In a separate line of work, Planned Parenthood Keystone received $387,245 in 2023 and $361,712 in 2024 for health resource center expansion.
How Accessmatters Gives
Accessmatters’ recent grant sizes range from a 25th percentile of $29,130 to a median of $65,588 and a 75th percentile of $171,893. The recent list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including City of Philadelphia - Ambulatory Health Services, Planned Parenthood Southeast PA Inc, and Temple Faculty Practice Plan Inc. That pattern suggests ongoing partner-based funding rather than isolated one-off awards. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grants are tied to administered public funding streams and service contracts, including block-grant-supported work.
