PlayPenn Among 2025 Philadelphia Cultural Fund Grant Recipients

PlayPenn is honored to be one of the recipients of the 2025 Art & Culture Grants awarded by the Philadelphia Cultural Fund (PCF).

A total of $3,496,000 was awarded to 262 Philadelphia-based art and culture organizations. The grants are resourced through the City of Philadelphia’s 2025 Budget, which provided the Cultural Fund with an allocation of $4.2 million. The Art & Culture Grants provide much-needed general operating funds to small and mid-sized arts organizations at a time when the arts sector has faced significant disruption and financial devastation. The average grant was $13,344.

We are thrilled to support 262 Art & Culture organizations this year, each rooted in one of Philadelphia’s ten districts and serving as a catalyst of creativity and connection in their communities. We are deeply grateful to the City of Philadelphia for the $4.2 million investment that makes this possible.”
