About Patricia Kind Family Foundation

A $250,000 grant to SHARE Food Program appears in both 2023 and 2025, pointing to a funder that makes repeat, high-dollar commitments to basic-needs infrastructure in Philadelphia. The Patricia Kind Family Foundation supports organizations working on food access, housing stability, legal services, health, youth services, and workforce readiness, with grants that often combine general operating support and program support. Its public mission centers on Philadelphia organizations helping people facing racial and economic injustices, with practical community solutions to poverty and related human services. Recent awards also show a strong interest in intermediary and coalition-based organizations. Urban Affairs Coalition received multiple grants, including support for the Collective Success Network and Ones Up, while other larger awards went to Philadelphia Youth Network Inc. for WorkReady and to Uplift Solutions Inc. for Uplift Workforce Solutions. The foundation also backs capacity-building work, as seen in grants to Compass Pro Bono and The Working Wardrobe. Across the recent grant list, support reaches food pantries, college access, youth development, health promotion, and emergency response, usually through organizations based in Philadelphia and serving nearby communities.
