Mission & Focus Areas
Philabundance’s mission is to drive hunger from communities today and end hunger for good. It says it works to provide food with dignity and respect, and aims to offer nutritious, locally sourced, and culturally responsive food when possible. Its stated longer-term work includes pairing healthy food with other critical services and providing culinary training and workforce development through Philabundance Community Kitchen.
The 2025 grants show support for organizations involved in food distribution and community services. For example, Small Things says its mission is to alleviate poverty by improving food security and collaborating on other community needs. Chester County Food Bank says it works to ensure equitable access to nutritious and familiar food, while Feast of Justice describes work to alleviate hunger and provide literacy, life-skills, and counseling services. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not Philabundance’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, Philabundance reported 359 grants totaling $85,307,748. Grant amounts ranged from $5,417 to $4,069,211, with a median grant of $129,508. The largest grants listed included:
The listed purposes for these grants are “FEED FOOD.” Philabundance also announced $250,000 in 2025–2027 Capacity Grants for 49 member agencies in Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. The organization says these grants provide operational capital to help agencies adapt to changing needs and improve food distribution programs and services.
Its FY23 membership manual states that new agency members generally must be tax-exempt organizations serving an underserved population, meet minimum service levels, and comply with membership requirements. It also describes eligibility for program partners that support product storage, distribution, or recipient services. These are membership criteria, not application instructions for the 2025 grants.
