| The Spruce Foundation (TSF) Founded in 2007, The Spruce Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Philadelphia. Our goal is two-fold: |
| (1) |
To serve at-risk youth in the Philadelphia region |
|
| (2) |
To develop the next generation of philanthropists in the Philadelphia region through encouraging and empowering young professionals to serve at-risk youth. |
|
| At-Risk Youth. The Spruce Foundation partners with non-profits, most of which are grass-roots organizations that are relatively young in their development, that in turn serve at-risk youth in the Philadelphia Metropolitan area. As of this year, the Spruce Foundation has 15 such partners, and each provides programming to underserved communities in one of three Program Areas: (1) Arts & Culture; (2) Environment; and (3) Education. The Spruce Foundation leverages its network of volunteers, largely professionals and students aged 22-35, and its other resources, to provide human capital, project support and financial support to its non-profit partners. |
| Young Professionals. The Spruce Foundation serves young professionals in the Philadelphia region by empowering them to become the next generation of philanthropists. It connects young professionals to vibrant non-profits in their own backyard (namely, our partner-organizations) and gives them the tools, training, and opportunities they need to contribute to, and eventually take leadership roles in, those organizations. |
| In addition to our grant making activities, The Spruce Foundation views itself as a conduit connecting a growing and impressive group of young professionals in Philadelphia with an equally growing and impressive menu of volunteer and board service opportunities at youth-focused non-profits. |
