The Seybert Foundation is a Philadelphia-based philanthropic organization that provides general operating support to nonprofit groups serving disadvantaged children and youth. Founded in 1914 and operating in the nonprofit sector, the foundation focuses on grants that help sustain core operations rather than project-specific funding, addressing the need for flexible resources for organizations serving the city’s vulnerable populations. It supports a broad network of partners—more than 80 nonprofits annually—through small grants typically in the $3,000–$5,000 range, and has expressed an emphasis on encouraging other funders to consider General Operating Support. The foundation’s work engages with issues such as safety, trauma, health, and education, reflecting evolving needs in Philadelphia as demographics and public services change. Based in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, it describes itself as dedicated to improving conditions for poor children and youth in Philadelphia by coordinating funding efforts and adapting to emerging trends in nonprofit needs.
