Generocity’s goal is to illuminate and challenge our local philanthropic landscape; hold its leadership, practices, and successes, its members, and our community accountable; while offering insights and resources to help you understand “how local policy impacts issues and the needs of the local community,” which leaders are effectively “working to influence problems and solutions in Philadelphia,” and what “resources” are available to support you and our community.

We’re always looking for new voices to chronicle how social impact organizations are changing Philadelphia. Think: nonprofits, philanthropy, social enterprises, local government.

From investigative reporting and opinion pieces to crowdsourced solutions and advocacy, for 2025, Generocity will focus on the theme:

Social Sustainability

The mark of social sustainability in any environment is that all the communities and societies within can thrive and ensure their existence into the future in a healthy, fair, and equal way. The focus of social sustainability is on improving people’s quality of life, fostering strong relationships, and ensuring everyone has the chance to fulfill their potential.

The building blocks of social sustainability are inclusive, just, and resilient societies where communities have both individual and collective voice, and governments listen – and respond. 

In 2025, Generocity will examine these four main pillars of social sustainability: Inclusivity, Justice, Community Voice, and Government Responsiveness.

While each quarter will focus on one of the four areas, each month we will focus on the impact of philanthropy (non-profit organizations and foundations), government, and corporate/private sector – and how they each are working to support our communities, and what still needs to change to make a real impact.

 

Q1 – Inclusivity: 

What are our leaders and institutions doing – or need to do – to ensure that communities have total access to opportunities to participate fully in markets, services, technology, and society?

 

Q2 – Justice: 

What are our leaders and institutions doing – or need to do – to eradicate systemic barriers to justice, particularly those that impact members of historically marginalized communities?

 

Q3 – Community Voice: 

What are our leaders and institutions doing – or need to do – to ensure that community voices have a platform and an impact in all social matters, and that voices from historically marginalized communities are amplified in the public arena?


Q4 – Government Responsiveness: 

What are our leaders and institutions doing – or need to do – to maintain open and direct channels for year- round civic engagement (on and off the election cycles), and to keep government officials and processes accountable to the needs of the communities they serve?

We’re looking for both reported stories (paid) and guest posts and opinion pieces from community leaders (not paid).
