About

The Nonprofit Repositioning Fund (the “Fund”) encourages and supports formal sustained collaborations between and among nonprofit organizations in the Greater Philadelphia Five County Region. These collaborations can range from voluntary back-office consolidations to programmatic joint ventures, to mergers and acquisitions. The Fund seeks to have a catalytic impact on the capacity, effectiveness, and financial health of the Greater Philadelphia nonprofit sector.

The Fund makes grants to nonprofits to identify and engage experienced technical assistance (TA) providers who can support the exploration or implementation of a sustained collaboration. The Fund will support repositioning projects involving nonprofits serving Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and/or Philadelphia counties.

In rare instances, the Fund will also consider dissolution planning for individual nonprofits.

The Fund makes three types of awards:
