Philly Tree Coalition — Second-Round 2026 Microburst Storm Responsive Grants
Applications are open. The Philly Tree Coalition, hosted by Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) and supported by the William Penn Foundation, opened a second round of community storm recovery financial-assistance grants on October 19, 2026. The application closes November 16, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. according to both the coalition’s official program page and controlling Jotform application. Neither source specifies a time zone.
Funding: The second round has $90,000 total, which is the overall pool, not an individual award. The controlling application requires requests of at least $5,000, anticipates most awards of $5,000–$25,000, and considers requests above $25,000 if proportionate to the proposed project. There is no stated absolute individual maximum; the funder anticipates approximately five grants. Awards use advance payments except the final 10%, which is reimbursed after successful project completion and final expenditure and data reports. Indirect costs are allowed up to 15% of total direct costs.
Eligibility: Eligible IRS 501(c)(3) public charities, state-recognized nonprofits (including public-serving schools and community groups), and organizations using a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor. The proposed project must be located in a July 11 storm-impacted West or South Philadelphia area that is also Tree Forward eligible according to the funder’s official location map. Previous applicants and grantees may apply again; returning applicants must submit a new application but may skip the standard attachment section.
Purpose and activities: Community-led recovery from the July 11, 2026 microburst storms, including tree hazard mitigation, debris cleanup, replacement tree planting, rehabilitation of damaged green spaces, and related local restoration and neighborhood resilience activity. This is a community financial-assistance grant, not a vendor procurement or government purchasing contract.
Application: Read the PHMC funder announcement, coalition program page, and controlling 2026 application and instructions. Submit organizational and fiscal-sponsor details, neighborhood damage and recovery project narrative, milestones, measurable outcomes, and an itemized budget using the official template. Except for eligible returning applicants, required PDF attachments include proof of 501(c)(3) or state nonprofit status, 2025 tax documentation, latest financial statement (audited when required), certificate of insurance naming PHMC, and W-9. The application requires authorized-signatory approval and signature. Questions are accepted before the predeadline cutoff published by the coalition, and final projects must finish by December 31, 2027. This second round is separate from the earlier summer Responsive Grant and Tree Forward grants.
