We are the Adam and Maria Sarah Seybert Foundation for Poor Boys and Girls of Philadelphia, or “The Seybert Foundation” for short. Founded in 1914 as the Adam and Maria Sarah Seybert Institution for Poor Boys and Girls, an independent foundation that makes grants to nonprofits serving disadvantaged children and youth in the city of Philadelphia. In 2013, the Board voted to make all grants in the form of General Operating Support, in recognition of the scarcity of this type of funding for nonprofits. (Seybert works to encourage other funders to consider providing Gen Op funding) With 1 in 3 of Philadelphia’s children living at or below the poverty level, the need for our funding is dire. The need for us to coordinate our efforts is even greater. Trends we’re seeing in funding requests related to children: Safety & Violence/Trauma Incarceration and its effects Health- both physical and mental Reduction of services/opportunities in public schools Changing demographics of the City Through small grants of approximately $3000-$5000 each, Seybert Foundation provides General Operating support to more than 80 nonprofit partners each year.
