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.

Small Things

Kensington Community Resilience Fund

Small Things' grant from the Kensington Community Resilience Fund will support our service in the zip codes 19124, 19125, 19133, and 19134. This will help cover the storage and distribution of food to 10 of our partners in those zip codes, as well as cover delivery of food to a free grocery store that we will open in Fairhill in the summer of 2023.

About

Small Things’ grant from the Kensington Community Resilience Fund will support our service in the zip codes 19124, 19125, 19133, and 19134. This will help cover the storage and distribution of food to 10 of our partners in those zip codes, as well as cover delivery of food to a free grocery store that we will open in Fairhill in the summer of 2023.

While Small Things serves 40 partners outside these zip codes, our focus on Kensington partners is primary. It is the one community where we provide delivery of dry food, meat, dairy, and fresh produce. We do this to spare our partners in these zip codes the cost of renting a U-haul to pick up food at our Roxborough warehouse. We logged 1,039 miles delivering food to these partners in 2022. We make this effort because we understand the poverty facing these families. In Philadelphia, one in five people are food insecure. In these zip codes, the poverty is even worse. Kensington has an income lower than 96.5% of U.S. neighborhoods. More than 40 percent of children live below the federal poverty line.

The support of the Kengington Community Resilience Fund will ensure we can continue to store, distribute, and deliver food in your target zip codes.
