Doylestown, PA (April 8, 2025) – Foundations Community Partnership’s (FCP) Board of Directors recently voted to join the Nonprofit Repositioning Fund (“the Fund”), a pooled-funding effort by local philanthropic organizations to improve the capacity, effectiveness, and financial sustainability of nonprofits in the Greater Philadelphia area.

 

“While FCP already offers professional and organizational development funding opportunities through its Nonprofit Growth Grant cycle, joining the Fund will expand our ability to help our local non-profit community to explore long-term collaborations,” said FCP’s Board Chair Tracy Pasternak Willis. “Repositioning activities can truly help nonprofits become more effective, efficient and stable, thereby increasing their impact and sustaining their missions.”

 

Since 2015, the Fund has invested more than $2.6 million to help strengthen Greater Philadelphia’s nonprofits. It is a formal collaboration among grant makers seeking long-term regional impact through pooled funding. FCP joins a committed group of funders, including: The Barra Foundation, BLBB Charitable, Comcast, Connelly Foundation, HealthSpark Foundation, The Lodestar Foundation, The Nelson Foundation, Patricia Kind Family Foundation, Philadelphia Foundation, Scattergood Foundation, SeaChange, and William Penn Foundation.

 

The Fund, administered by SeaChange Capital Partners, offers grants at three levels, including Seed Awards of up to $2,500, Exploratory Awards with an average grant size of $25,000, and Implementation Awards that average $35,000. These grants support technical assistance and one-time costs associated with repositioning activities among two or more nonprofits serving Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and/or Philadelphia counties. “The Fund provides a safe space and financial support to explore collaboration and repositioning as strategic options to strengthen services and deliver upon mission in a rapidly changing external environment. We are thrilled to welcome FCP to the group and look forward to growing this new partnership to best serve the nonprofit community in Bucks County,” said the Fund’s Director Lindsay T. Kijewski.
