The Philadelphia Foundation administers Special Initiative Grants, crafted through the generosity of its fund creators or through partnerships. These grants focus on organizations serving specific purposes, demographics, or areas and may support pilot programs with varying criteria annually. One notable program is funded by the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office Forfeiture Fund, directed to use forfeited funds for community-based anti-crime, anti-narcotics organizations, especially those engaging at-risk youth or focusing on crime, drug, and violence prevention and recovery. It prioritizes grassroots groups in Philadelphia, offering grants between $10,000 and $50,000. The current focus is on summer programs for youth that combat violence and drug issues through positive, holistic approaches and experiences.
