The PNC Foundation Provides $1 Million in Grants to 23 Groups in the Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey Region

More than 200 grant applications were received from visual and performing arts organizations throughout Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey.

"We asked for bold ideas and the response was immediate and far-reaching," said Bill Mills, regional president of PNC for Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. "This region is going to see energetic and highly creative performances in unexpected places, free programs and subsidized tickets for families who could not otherwise afford to attend, innovative programs for high school and college-aged students and education and engagement for those who rarely have access to the arts."
