Philadelphia Eagles | End Philly Gun Violence

EAGLES_FanOfChange_Assets_Misc_Web-header

Since 2018, The Eagles have contributed more than $2.3 million in funding to area-based social justice organizations through the Eagles Social Justice Fund. This year, organizations are once again invited to apply to receive a grant through the Eagles Social Justice Fund to support programs and projects across the spectrum of social justice issues.

Applications must be submitted by Monday, July 15th for consideration. For questions, please email the community relations team at Communityrelations@philadelphiaeagles.com.

According to the City Controller's Office, gun violence homicides in Philadelphia are down 23% from last year. Prior to that, the incident rate saw a 6% decrease from 2021 to 2022. While proactive measures are being taken around the city to help stem this pressing issue, gun violence continues to be a major concern and has disproportionately affected underserved communities of color.

Building upon our End Philly Gun Violence initiative, this year's 'A Fan of Change' campaign recognizes that while much work is still left to be done, many nonprofits across our region are quietly achieving small wins every day: one yard, one block, one community at a time.
