We do so by increasing equitable access to quality health and human services and promoting healthy communities.

PCHF Scholarships

The Phoenixville Community Health Foundation offers scholarships to graduating high school seniors from area schools pursuing higher degrees in health care and human services. We’re always looking for passionate students in our community! 

Trust-Based Philanthropy

PCHF practices Trust-Based Philanthropy, a national movement and philosophy centered on advancing equity, shifting power, and building mutually accountable relationships between funders and grantees. Nothing is more important than the relationships we have with our nonprofit community. When we have strong relationships with our nonprofit partners, honest conversations about community needs and workable solutions become more feasible. So, we work to build, strengthen, and continually nurture those relationships. 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

PCHF is committed to centering the principles of DEI in all aspects of our work. We will continue to intensify our focus on issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our board and staff will continue to learn and determine how we can integrate what we have learned more deeply and intentionally into our mission.
