IPromise Charitable Giving Fund

Volpe Koenig is deeply committed to giving back to the communities in which we live and work. In 2007, Volpe Koenig established the IPromise Charitable Giving Fund to assist Greater Philadelphia Metro area nonprofit organizations with continuing their missions and establishing new programs.

Each year Volpe Koenig’s IPromise Charitable Giving Fund awards two qualifying area nonprofits each with a $20,000 grant for a new or ongoing project.

Qualifying organizations are invited to an application process that is usually open June through August each year. Funds are generally dispersed in January of the following year.

To date, IPromise has awarded more than $500,000 to grant recipients across six eligible categories that rotate each year. They are:

• Arts, Culture and Humanities
• Community Development
• Education and Research
• Environment and Animals
• Health, Human Services & Youth Development
• Veteran Services

In 2023, the IPromise Charitable Giving Fund will accept applications from qualifying organizations working in the areas of:

• Health, Human Services & Youth Development
• Veteran Services

The 2023 application process will open in June 2023.
