Volpe Koenig, Philadelphia’s largest intellectual property law firm, is now accepting applications for its 19th annual “IPromise” grant campaign. Renamed the IPromise Jeffrey M. Glabicki Memorial Giving Fund in 2024 to honor the legacy of longtime shareholder Jeffrey Glabicki, the campaign recognizes the community contributions of Philadelphia-area nonprofits with a $40,000 grant award.
