The Regional Foundation was created in 1998 to continue a legacy of community philanthropy across eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware. For more than 25 years, we have partnered with residents to support neighborhood revitalization efforts shaped by community priorities, leadership, and vision.
