A Message From the Executive Director of FNC

Welcome to our temporary FNC Philly website! During the last few months, our old website was compromised. This was the perfect push to start from scratch! So much has happened since we last updated our site! That said, this current site is only temporary while our web designers complete our full, brand new website.

FNC Philly has been in operation since 1906. (Read about our history). Today, we hold to the principles of our founders, while looking for innovative ways to address the issues and needs our 21st Century world faces daily. Today, with over 50 projects across Philadelphia and beyond, FNC Philly is impacting nearly 250,000 people annually through youth programs, projects addressing food insecurity, trauma-informed parenting classes, urban farming, arts-related projects, perinatal help, and even animal rescue initiatives!

Our fiscal sponsorship initiative is bursting at the seams! We seek out the community innovators who have incredible ideas and plans for making an impact on our community – and, we give them the ability to start or continue these initiatives under the umbrella of FNC Philly – alleviating the need of getting a costly 501(c)3 non-profit status and the extra burden of work and expense that comes with it. Whether you’ve already started your project or just starting out, FNC can help!  You can learn more about fiscal sponsorship at FNC here.

So, explore! If you have questions – ask us! All of our email addresses are available on the Our Team page. Help us change our world for the better . . . together!

Sincerely,

Jerry Tapley
CEO

Together we can build safer, healthier communities where people excel,
​ideas grow, and dreams are realized.

Fiscal Sponsorship

One of the many ways FNC supports its vision and mission to transform and create thriving communities is through our Fiscal Sponsorship program, Nurturing Emerging Community Visionaries. We are here to support you through a myriad of services as well as help mentor you through all the stages of starting your own project. Back office services such as accounting, fund and grant management, audits, and liability insurance allow you to focus on what’s important to you, allowing you to see the success of your project and the impact it has on your community. Through your success, we all succeed.

Youth Programs

Teens 4 Good
Teens 4 Good was founded in 2005 by a small group
of determined youth and adults who shared a vision of
addressing the issues of poverty, urban blight, and the lack
of accessible fresh produce in many
​Philadelphia neighborhoods.

Parent Empowerment
The Parent Empowerment program engages parents through group discussion and role playing concerning the power of love and affection, parent influence, listening, role modeling, consistency, appropriate discipline, child abuse awareness, financial and nutritional education.

Urban Sustainability Leadership Academy
​The Urban Sustainability Leadership Academy is an enrichment program for high-performing high school seniors. We provide the supports and connections needed to boost opportunities and avenues post-graduation. We know that a one-size-fits-all approach limits potential and limits an individual, which is why we strategically collaborate with talented and diverse partners.

WorkReady​
WorkReady Philadelphia, formerly known as Summer Career Exploration Program (SCEP) and managed by the Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN),
​is a portfolio of programs that addresses the skills gap for vulnerable young people.

Feed Your Potential 365
