BLOCS is an independent charitable organization serving the five-county Philadelphia region. Founded in 1980 by business and civic leaders, it operates from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, to connect donors with Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The organization provides scholarships to children in pre-K through high school and to students in schools of special education, supporting access to a high-quality, values-based education. BLOCS reports that nearly 96 cents of every dollar it raises goes to scholarships for local families, and it maintains a platinum transparency rating from GuideStar. Its mission emphasizes bridging the business community with Catholic schools to fund financial assistance, strengthen school infrastructure, and expand educational opportunities for families.
