Behind every community program that works, there is structure. A legal home for the money. Someone accountable for how it is spent. Records that hold up when a funder asks. Most charitable initiatives do not begin with any of that, and the work stalls while they try to build it.
Group 36 exists so it does not have to. As a registered 501(c)(3), we serve as the charitable home for projects in Philadelphia and around the world, from violence prevention and reentry programs to humanitarian relief and pediatric rehabilitation. We receive and safeguard the funds, maintain the compliance, and file the reports, so the people running the work can stay focused on the people it serves.
We are a fiscal sponsor, not a funder. The charitable dollars we steward belong to the projects that raised them and the donors who gave them, and our responsibility is to make sure they reach their purpose intact.
Whatever the engagement, we focus on your impact — pairing 501(c)(3) structure with clear controls, reporting, and experienced judgment.
