Grantmaking
We fund organizations and projects which disrupt our current behavioral health space and create impact at the individual, organizational, and societal levels.
Participatory Funds
Our participatory funds alter traditional grantmaking by shifting power
to impacted communities to direct resources and make funding decisions.
Special Grant Programs
We build public and private partnerships to administer grant dollars toward targeted programs.
Program Related Investments
We provide funds at below-market interest rates that can be particularly useful to start, grow, or sustain a program, or when results cannot be achieved with grant dollars alone.

The RISE Partnership builds on the Building Evaluation Capacity Initiative (BECI), which has been working with organizations in the region for the past eight years. The RISE Partnership is a three-year, $3 million program that combines resources, expertise and tools to strengthen the effectiveness of up to 100 nonprofits in the Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey region working to improve the lives of people in the area. The program builds off the assets of the community and will provide training and support to build:
- Readiness for measuring and driving program outcomes
- Implementation of an intensive program of internal evaluation capacity building; and
- Sustainability supports for an alumni learning community to bolster and extend gains achieved.
The RISE Partnership is based on the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation’s PropelNext program and The Scattergood Foundation’s Building Evaluation Capacity Initiative, which was developed and implemented in partnership with The Consultation Center at Yale University. BECI was also supported by The Barra Foundation, The Philadelphia Foundation, and The United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey.
The RISE Partnership is now supported by a collaborative of funders that includes the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, The Scattergood Foundation, the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, Campbell Soup Foundation, The Horner Foundation, the Barra Foundation, The Philadelphia Foundation, and The Grace S. and W. Linton Nelson Foundation. Training and consultation is provided through The Consultation Center at Yale and The Scattergood Foundation.
All organizations that have participated in BECI are invited to participate in the Sustainability component of RISE.
