White-Richardson Fund

 The White-Richardson Fund makes recommendations regarding the disbursal of income from a trust dedicated to supporting enhanced educational opportunities for children of color in Philadelphia.

Mission:

• The White Richardson Fund of Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting focuses on the education of children of color in Philadelphia.
• Grants are given to programs and educational institutions, (both Friends and other)  below the college level.
• The total of the grants is about $80,000 per year. Grants range from $1000 to $8000. 
• Information about grants will be sent in May or early June.
• Funds are also set aside for members and active attenders involved in schools or programs for children of color in Philadelphia.

 Goals:

• Small projects and organizations where the relatively small scale of our contributions will best be felt.
• Smaller Friends Schools with a commitment to maintaining a substantial population of students of color.
• Organizations or programs with education-related projects reaching many individuals as opposed to funding an individual student.
• Organizations or programs with an active CPMM member.
• Organizations or programs reaching high poverty populations.
• Smaller Friends Schools that do not have access to high end donors.
• Organizations or programs with greatest potential to multiply their impact.
