Good news: We’re continuing our watershed reporting for another 2 years

Green Philly has been awarded funding from the William Penn Foundation for a second time.

This past year has been a rollercoaster. Despite the challenges, we’re thrilled that the William Penn Foundation is continuing to support our quality reporting about the Delaware Watershed. 

This 24-month grant ($110K) is for watershed reporting and related events. This is a continuation of a 24-month grant we received in November 2019

For the next grant, we will continue to draw connections from the Delaware River to environmental justice, urban agriculture, green jobs, water access and recreation.

What does this mean?

  • We’ll cover many topics with a Delaware Watershed lens
  • We’ll host new and exciting events. (Maybe even in person…. One day?!)
  • We’ll continue our content you love
  • We’re continuing to grow to make the Philadelphia region a more sustainable place

Have pitches for articles, speakers and events to send us about these topics? Want to find out ways to support Green Philly or advertise your organization’s water ties? Send them to contact@greenphillyblog.com.
