Philadelphia Cultural Fund Information

The Philadelphia Cultural Fund ensures the organizational stability and artistic quality of the cultural sector in Philadelphia by providing general operating grants on an annual basis through a peer review process; grants are made through a City budget allocation to the Cultural Fund. The Philadelphia Cultural Fund was established in 1991 when Philadelphia’s City Council authorized the creation of a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation whose mission is to provide funds to enhance arts and cultural organizations throughout the City. Over $40M has been awarded since 1994; grants are awarded to over 260 arts and culture organizations annually; the organizations range from small to large, from unincorporated groups working through a fiscal sponsor to multi-million dollar non-profit corporations.
