BLOCS is an independent charitable organization supported by individuals, companies, firms and foundations of all sizes in the five county Philadelphia region. Since 1980, BLOCS has invested in the lives of tens of thousands of children throughout the area, including some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. BLOCS is committed to giving children access to a high quality, values based education in area Catholic schools. From its inception in 1980 by a group of visionary business and civic leaders, BLOCS has been supported by a diverse group of individuals. Children who attend pre-K, grade school, high school, or the schools of special education within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are eligible for BLOCS Scholarships. Through its scholarships, BLOCS reaches more children in more communities than any other private education charity in our region. Nearly $.96 of every dollar brought in goes back out in the form of scholarships to local families and BLOCS currently holds a platinum rating in transparency from GuideStar (an independent rating platform of non-profits around the world). With the support of our board, friends, and donors, BLOCS endeavors to increase the number of scholarships distributed each year and help strengthen schools for future generations and for the good of our region. Mission BLOCS bridges the business community and Catholic schools to establish financial assistance to families in need, bolster school infrastructures, and expand educational opportunities for families.
