Endowment  

Gifts to PHS’s endowment provide dedicated philanthropic support, in perpetuity, to PHS’s most critically important programs, from our Healthy Neighborhoods work to the Philadelphia Flower Show. A gift to the PHS endowment helps safeguard PHS’s future impact; advancing health and well-being using horticulture in over 250 neighborhoods in the Greater Philadelphia region. 

Giving Circles 

PHS’s giving circles are communities of leadership donors who are making multi-year restricted philanthropic investments of $10,000 or more in addition to their annual membership to create significant impact in a PHS programmatic area. 

Healthy Neighborhoods Giving Circle 

Supports community-driven, place-based greening initiatives that boost tree canopy coverage through tree planting efforts, work with community gardens to increase access to fresh food, reduce violent crimes by cleaning vacant lots, and provide jobs through workforce development.    

Philadelphia Flower Show Giving Circle  

Supports the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, the largest indoor flower show in the world. Gifts help ensure the Flower Show’s annual impact: introducing the public to the world of floral design and gardening, celebrating horticultural excellence, promoting gardener education, and fueling PHS’s year-round mission and impact. 

Public Gardens and Landscapes Giving Circle 

Supports PHS’s work operating and maintaining a large and diverse network of public gardens and landscapes offered free to the public and managed with environmentally friendly practices. Public gardens and landscapes in the PHS network include highly visible sites like the Azalea Garden, Logan Circle, the PHS Pop Up Gardens, and Meadowbrook Farm. 

Transformative Philanthropy 

Multifaceted, long-term projects where PHS has determined the potential for large-scale impact that is only possible through individual, corporate, and institutional support. 

Priority Neighborhood: Nicetown and Tioga 

The Nicetown and Tioga “Love Where You Live” Greening Plan represents a transformational opportunity to connect neighbors through horticulture and ultimately build a healthier, happier, and safer community in the beautiful and historic Philadelphia neighborhoods of Nicetown and Tioga. 

Priority Neighborhood: Norristown 

PHS has expanded its programmatic footprint in partnership with Montgomery County to create the Green Resource Center at Norristown Farm Park, which includes a 2-acre teaching and production farm where all produce is donated.
