The William Penn Foundation, founded by Otto and Phoebe Haas in 1945, is  a leading American philanthropy located in Philadelphia with over $3.7 billion in assets and a $155 million annual grant budget. Our approach to grantmaking is focused on one central idea: let’s help make more lives better by connecting more people to more opportunities and more resources. We aim to do this work in the Philadelphia region particularly for groups of people who have often been shut out of opportunity in the past because of disinvestment, discrimination, or systemic inequities.

The Foundation makes grants in five programs, primarily focused in Philadelphia and its surrounding counties:

  • Arts and Culture – Increase access to diverse, inclusive arts and culture experiences.
  • Children and Families – Expand access to programs and resources that support the healthy development and academic success of young children, ages 0-8.
  • Environment and Public Space – Increase access to the benefits of natural areas, public spaces, and community assets while decreasing harmful impacts on the environment.
  • Democracy and Civic Initiatives – Expand engagement in democratic processes and collaborative efforts that make the city and region responsive to the needs of residents.
  • Workforce Training and Services – Support Philadelphia residents to successfully prepare for, secure, and retain family sustaining employment.

In pursuing our program goals and objectives, we will be guided by the following values:

  • Prioritize opportunities for communities that have been most affected by economic inequity, discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual orientation, and other forms of injustice.
  • Elevate community voice.
  • Value partnership, collaboration, and transparency.
  • Minimize and respond to the impacts of climate change.
  • Leverage our leadership to advance important citywide and regional initiatives and to respond to changing needs of the city and region.
  • Share our learning locally and nationally.

Reporting to the Chief Philanthropy Officer, the Program Director serves as the intellectual and operational leader of the Workforce program. The Program Director will develop and execute a coherent grantmaking strategy, build and sustain a portfolio of high-impact grants, and represent the program to the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, grantees, peer funders, professional associations, and the broader community.

The Program Director, the first for our Workforce program, will have the opportunity to advance this critical work as the Foundation concludes the second year of our 10-year grantmaking strategy.

At this time, the Workforce program currently has an annual grantmaking budget of $5 million per year and 33 active grantee organizations. In addition, the two most recent Requests for Proposals (RFPs) the Foundation released in this program area have been supported in collaboration with peer funders. The Program Director will, through a combination of developing and managing RFPs, strategic individual grantmaking, and close collaboration with peer funders and the grantee community, manage grantmaking and related activities to achieve the following objective: By 2035, 10,000 individuals with high barriers to employment will complete workforce training and 85% will still be employed 12 months post-training.

In addition, the Program Director will develop deep knowledge of the organizations and communities they serve and support; manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders; and serve as an internal and external subject matter expert on issues related workforce training in the Philadelphia region.

Chief Executive Officer | Northeast Treatment Centers (NET)

About Northeast Treatment Centers

Northeast Treatment Centers (NET) offers support and hope to individuals and families at times of great stress in their lives. Founded in 1970, NET is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit that has served children, youth, and families across the region for more than five decades. NET operates through its subsidiary, NET Community Care, as a Community Umbrella Agency under contract with the Philadelphia Department of Human Services, delivers a continuum of juvenile justice programs in partnership with the Philadelphia Juvenile Probation Office, and provides foster care, adoption, case management, violence prevention, and family support services across multiple sites in the city.

In May 2026, NET and JEVS Human Services jointly announced a service integration plan in which NET’s behavioral health services in Philadelphia and Delaware will be integrated into JEVS. The plan was developed collaboratively with Community Behavioral Health and reflects a shared commitment to continuity of care for clients and continued employment for staff. JEVS, an 85-year-old Philadelphia institution, brings deep operational capacity and a complementary mission. Both organizations will continue to advance their missions following the integration, which is expected to complete by the end of calendar year 2026.

With this integration, NET will continue to focus on the trauma-informed social service programs in which it has the deepest community roots and the strongest outcomes. NET 2.0 will operate at approximately $32 million in annual revenue across Philadelphia-based locations, carries no debt, and is largely program-funded rather than fee-for-service. The continuing service portfolio includes case management, community engagement, foster care, residential care, adoption, juvenile justice services, violence prevention programs, parenting programs, and child welfare services. NET enters its next chapter with operating surplus, balance sheet stability, a strong and tenured senior team, and an engaged Board of Directors.

Chief Advancement Officer | For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Founded 25 years ago in honor of Pete Bossow, For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation has grown into a nationally recognized organization with a dedicated 15 person staff, engaged Board leadership, and three core programs: the Travel Respite Experience, the Staycation Respite Experience, and Respite Reinforced, which supports families following respite participation.

For Pete’s Sake enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting Respite Experiences. Working with oncology professionals at over 100 hospitals and cancer centers, FPS provides transformative Respite Experiences to cancer patients (ages 21-55), their caregivers and their children and offers our families emotional support that assists them as their journey with cancer continues. Our respite program helps families recognize it is love, not cancer, that defines them. For more information on FPS, please visit https://fpsrespite.org/.

For Pete’s Sake is entering a transformative phase of growth through Vision 2030, an ambitious strategic initiative centered on the development of Pete’s Dream—the nation’s first-of-its-kind cancer respite center. Supported by the organization’s $32 million campaign, Respite Transformed: Pete’s Vision Realized at Woodloch, the project will dramatically expand access to Respite Experiences from approximately 700 individuals served annually today to more than 4,000 each year when the center reaches full occupancy.
