Samuel S. Fels Fund

Samuel S. Fels Fund (Fels Fund) is a private foundation with a mission of advancing social, racial, and economic justice in Philadelphia, PA. The organization actively supports efforts to resist systems of oppression that impact all of us, including but not limited to white supremacy, anti-immigrant bias, and economic stratification. We envision a day when all Philadelphians can live full, meaningful, and dignified lives as valued and contributing members of our diverse and vibrant city. We are committed to exploring equitable ways to share power and resources with communities that are and have been historically excluded. The Fels Fund seeks to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion through its grantmaking priorities, relationships with grantee partners, investment principles and portfolio management, vendor relationships, and in its staff, board, and grantee capacity-building efforts.
