To end family homelessness through direct aid, direct services, and advocacy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Emergency housing and services/basic needs - temporary housing, crisis counseling and direct relief for families experiencing homelessness. In 2025, fpp and congregation-based program partners provided 2,973 bed nights of safe emergency housing for 8 families (26 children and adults), and enabled them to relocate safely upon discharge.
$108,133 spent15% of program spendingChildren and youth - direct aid, trauma-informed counseling, parenting education, family and art therapy, after-school, summer camp, recreation and learning opportunities, and material support. In 2025, of the total 673 households fpp served, all were at or below 150% of the federal poverty line, but most at or below 50%.85% were families of color, 98% had children under the age of 18, and 80% were headed by single mothers-families living in northwest and northeast philadelphia neighborhoods, and more than two-dozen additional zip codes citywide.
$212,018 spent30% of program spendingHomeless prevention/relocation - housing crisis counseling, financial aid to avert eviction (back rent/utilities, temporary rent, subsidies) or relocate rapidly (security deposits) and non-financial services and support to achieve housing stability and self-sufficiency. In 2025, fpp helped 131 families (430 individuals; 260 children birth-18 years + 170 adults) avert homelessness and the deleterious impacts of displacement on health. 36 family heads-of-household who completed the "keys" financial literacy skills/tenant education curricula received modest "shallow rent subsidies" to help stabilize their housing and reduce the threat of possible eviction, and 18 families received intensive housing counseling and case management assistance to stabilize. 673 families (1,288 children and 2,176 adults) received in-kind donations of basic needs, goods and services valued at approximately 75,000. Material supports - grocery cards, diapers, formula and baby food, children's clothing, feminine hygiene products and more -- enabled them to prioritize rent, utilities, and other essential such as healthcare and medications for children and adults.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $525k to $1.2M (+131%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 25% · 2020 35% · 2021 29% · 2022 29% · 2023 19% · 2024 33% · 2025 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of FAMILY PROMISE OF PHILADELPHIA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $52k → $122k.
9 of 41 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
FAMILY PROMISE OF PHILADELPHIA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
48% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FAMILY PROMISE OF PHILADELPHIA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 45% · 2018 62% · 2019 61% · 2020 44% · 2021 62% · 2022 34% · 2023 41% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
38% of FAMILY PROMISE OF PHILADELPHIA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 51% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
FAMILY PROMISE OF PHILADELPHIA draws 52% of its grant income from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $333k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
