As of October, this is what we know about philanthropic COVID relief in the Philadelphia region

How has $40 million in COVID-relief philanthropy throughout the 10-county Greater Philadelphia region been distributed?

The short answer: about 60% of the funds have gone to Philadelphia-based nonprofits most of whom received a one-time grant with an average size of $8,211. In turn, the recipients primary focused on economic activity, education, health, arts and culture as well as housing issues, according to research from the Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP).

CHIP has just released these findings from its COVID-19 Response Dashboard. The dashboard is one of the first efforts to collect grant data from numerous pooled giving funds mapped against demographic and economic data, and share it publicly.
