I am beyond excited to share some huge news—Green Philly has been named a recipient of the Press Forward grant! Out of over 900 applicants, we’re one of only 205 local newsrooms across the country selected to continue filling critical information gaps and supporting our community.

While this $100,000 grant from Press Forward is an incredible boost, we still need your support to continue growing. Local journalism thrives when its community steps up. Will you help us sustain our work by becoming a Green Philly member today?
Exclusive Perk: The first 15 new members to sign up will receive a ticket for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glassblowing tour at Remark Glass on October 30th. What better way to celebrate sustainability in action?
Becoming a Green Philly Insider will unlock access to members-only events, exclusive invitations, and more. This is your chance to stay connected and dive deeper into Philly’s sustainability scene!
A monthly donation of just $10 or more helps us continue producing high-quality, impactful stories that matter to you—stories on everything from fighting plastic waste to boosting urban agriculture or addressing the climate crisis, which is the reason we exist.
We started Green Philly 16 years ago because we believe in the power of community and the urgent need to address climate change. Together, we can keep sustainability accessible and local for everyone in Philadelphia.
Thank you for believing in Green Philly and for being part of this journey with us.
With gratitude,
Julie Hancher
