    About Phillies Charities

    Phillies Charities concentrates its giving in the Philadelphia region, combining a handful of large, high-profile gifts with many mid-sized local awards. Its priorities emphasize health (notably ALS and pediatric health), homelessness and housing services, hunger relief, and youth/community programs tied to arts and athletics; it often makes repeat grants to the same local nonprofits. The foundation appears to balance flagship investments (one- to six-figure awards) with ongoing operational support to neighborhood organizations and service providers.

    Focus Areas

    Citywide homelessness and supportive housing organizations in Philadelphia (e.g., Project HOME, Bethesda Project)ALS research, patient services and regional ALS organizations (e.g., ALS United Mid-Atlantic, ALS of Greater Philadelphia)Food security and emergency food programs in the Philly area (e.g., Philabundance, Help Us Gather)Youth development through sports and arts programs tied to police-community relations and schools (e.g., Police Athletic League, Fresh Artists, Strawberry Mansion Learning Center)Pediatric and hospital support services (e.g., Nemours Foundation, Hosts for Hospitals)

    Who They Fund

    About Phillies Charities

    A $1,000,000 grant to Project Home stands out as the clearest signal of Phillies Charities Inc.’s scale and local orientation. The foundation pairs that kind of flagship support with a steady stream of mid-sized awards to Philadelphia-area nonprofits, often around health, housing stability, food access, and youth/community programs. In the recent grants list, the same pattern appears in awards to ALS United Mid Atlantic, Philabundance, Fresh Artists, and Strawberry Mansion Learning Center, which together show a mix of direct service, health-related support, and community-based enrichment. Phillies Charities Inc. also appears to fund beyond a single issue area. Its recent recipients include organizations connected to supportive housing, ALS services, pediatric and hospital support, and arts- or athletics-linked youth development. Many grants are described as support for exempt mission, which suggests broad mission support rather than tightly restricted project-only funding. The overall picture is of a regional funder using a combination of large anchor gifts and repeated local support to strengthen nonprofits serving Philadelphia and nearby communities.

    What Phillies Charities Funds

    Housing and homelessness are a visible part of the foundation’s giving. A 2025 grant of $1,000,000 to Project Home shows support for exempt mission in that sector, and the recipient sits within Philadelphia’s housing and supportive-services network. Health is another major thread. Phillies Charities Inc. awarded $249,927 in 2025 to ALS United Mid Atlantic and $179,490 in 2023 to ALS of Greater Philadelphia, reflecting sustained support for ALS-related organizations. The foundation also gave $87,278 to Philabundance in 2025, linking its health-and-wellness priorities to food access and emergency assistance. Youth and community programs also appear repeatedly. The recent grants list includes $50,000 to Fresh Artists in 2025 and $50,000 to Strawberry Mansion Learning Center in 2024, both of which point to education, arts, and neighborhood-based youth support.

    How Phillies Charities Gives

    Typical awards cluster in the mid-sized range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $25,000, and the 75th percentile is $35,000. The recent grants list also shows larger anchor gifts, including six-figure and seven-figure awards, alongside many grants at $40,000 and $50,000. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off. ALS United Mid Atlantic appears in consecutive years, and the V Foundation for Cancer Research received grants in both 2024 and 2025. The grant descriptions frequently read as support for exempt mission, pointing to flexible operating or mission support. The foundation is a nonprofit grantmaker led by John Weber, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.

    Giving Approach

    A concentrated-local approach: a few large, flagship grants (including one million-dollar+ awards) paired with numerous repeat mid-size commitments (~$40k–$200k). The foundation favors repeat funding to core regional partners while also distributing smaller, mission-driven grants across parks, arts, and neighborhood nonprofits.

    Where Phillies Charities Makes Grants

    Giving is concentrated in Pennsylvania, which accounts for 74% of grants, while the recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Philadelphia is the main city of focus, with recent grants also reaching Ambler, Wayne, Bryn Mawr, Malvern, Fort Washington, and Darby. The list extends into nearby New Jersey and Delaware as well, including Northfield, Jackson, and Wilmington. That regional footprint matches a grantmaker centered on the Philadelphia area rather than a national or international spread.
