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

PNC Arts Alive grant recipients cover a full range of disciplines including classical music, dance, film, folk art, performing arts, theater and visual arts. The initiative doubles The PNC Foundation's investment in arts programming in the Philadelphia & Southern New Jersey region at a time when the shrinking economy has become one of the biggest challenges for non-profit arts organizations. Thirty five percent of non-profit organizations said corporate contributions are down, according to a recent survey by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.
