These 107 orgs are hosting On the Table Philly discussions next week

This Tuesday is On the Table Philly, the discussion series that asks Philadelphians to tell funders what issues are most important to their communities.

Supported by The Philadelphia Foundation (TPF), On the Table Philly is the local faction of a national Knight Foundation initiative that aims to get citizens talking with each other about proposed fixes to community problems over a meal.

“We’re hoping that the act of breaking bread and having that dialogue not only fosters new relationships but helps get people around a shared table, around community challenges, opportunities and issues,” said Knight’s Philadelphia program director, Patrick Morgan, in March.

Table hosts are nonprofits, churches, student groups, library branches and more. During the discussions on May 23, each host will take notes to share with TPF and Knight to inform future funding decisions.

Most talks are happening in Center City (50) and North Philly (21). The rest are scattered throughout the city and region, from the Northwest to Montgomery County to Jersey. Discussion topics range from civic engagement to education to race and diversity.

Below is a list of 107 community organizations registered for Tuesday. You’ll surely recognize at least a few names on the list (including Generocity, which will be hosting a discussion on immigration ahead of our June editorial calendar theme).

Note that League of Women Voters and Al Día are looking for more people from the public to join their tables — and that though registration is technically closed, organizations interested in hosting a table can reach out to event organizers here.

(P.S. Tuesday is also our second annual jobs and engagement fair, INTER/VIEW. Register here.)
