Green Philly’s 2022 recap

Another year is in the books. Here’s what we did.

As we wrap up 2022, we’re reflecting on the year that was. After a two-year hiatus, we brought back in-person events, our signature event, SustainPHL and welcomed two team members on board.

Here are our 2022 highlights:

Events

  • We hosted 6 events, including three in-person(!) with local sustainability experts
  • Hundreds of you subscribed to our weekly newsletter
  • Thousands of you are following us on social media
  • ? SustainPHL made a comeback in person at the @Acadnatsci!

Projects & People

  • We kicked off year three of our Watershed reporting due to continued funding from the William Penn Foundation.
  • In 2021, we were chosen for the LION-Meta Revenue Growth Fellowship and funding. As a part of this fellowship, we welcomed Harrison Mace, Director of Business Development onto our team in February.
  • Green Philly was awarded the “Every Voice, Every Vote” Lenfest Grant to cover electoral issues in 2023.
  • Gurpreet Talwar joined as marketing manager in June.
  • We worked with over 10 freelancers with diverse voices throughout the year.
