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.

About
UrbEd is a non-profit based in Philadelphia that advocates for fully-funded, safe, and healthy public schools in order to provide students with an equitable and quality education we deserve. UrbEd is an organization led by those who are and have been most affected by the issues facing urban public schools. Through political education and community organizing UrbEd is amplifying voices–the voices of public school students—to give students the education they deserve and are owed.
The Policy Meets Practice grant will support UrbEd’s work to mobilize Philadelphia public school students to address key issues that are pressing to them. Such issues include the impact of COVID and racial inequities highlighted after the recent police brutality incidents here in Philadelphia and across the country. Specifically, UrbEd is working to address issues of public safety in schools through an advocacy campaign create a better dialogue between students and the school administration regarding safety to ensure that public safety officers do not treat the youth as problems but rather, work collectively to create a safe environment for everyone.
