Grant Distribution Guidelines
Requests for funding support generally far exceed the funds available. For this reason, criteria have been established to assist the Directors and staff in deciding where
the funds may be most effectively employed for the betterment of the community.
For its grant making program, the Foundation has adopted the same geographical area as served by the Phoenixville Hospital. This area is defined as follows:
CHESTER COUNTY
| Charlestown Township |
Phoenixville Borough |
|
| East Coventry Township |
Schuylkill Township |
|
| East Nantmeal Township | Spring City Borough | |
| East Vincent Township | South Coventry Township | |
| East Pikeland Township | West Vincent Township | |
| North Coventry Township | West Pikeland Township |
MONTGOMERY COUNTY
| Collegeville Borough | Royersford Borough | |
| Limerick Township | Trappe Borough | |
| Lower Pottsgrove Township | Upper Providence Township | |
| Lower Providence Township |
The impact of the Foundation’s grant making will be judged not only by the financial resources given to the community organizations, but also by the innovative and collaborative relationships the Foundation has with its grant recipients and the impact that the grants have had on the community-at-large.

In an effort to deal efficiently and effectively with the large volume of requests presented to the Foundation, the Directors have established funding priorities. Consequently, grants generally are made within the following categories:
Level 1 - 55%
Direct Access to Healthcare
Level 2 - 35%
Access to Health & Human Services
Level 3 - 10%
