FUNDERS

Overview

Since our founding in 2005, we have helped over 18,000 adults earn over 10,000 postsecondary credentials. According to the Pennsylvania Economy League, these adults will generate roughly $120 million in taxes and earn $461 million in discretionary income.  

By supporting Graduate Philadelphia, you are investing in the future of our community, fostering individual growth, and driving inclusive economic prosperity. Our current participant population is 80% African American, and 80% low-income, with 78% being women who work, learn, and raise children simultaneously.

What we offer

We offer workforce development credentials to help job seekers achieve financial stability and as a gateway program to higher education. We were the first organization in the U.S. to align resources outside and inside postsecondary education for adult learners to earn postsecondary credentials and achieve financial solvency, We work with employers to upskill incumbent workers, build diverse talent pipelines, and advance DEI practices.

Our Approach

Our integrated approach to economic mobility is more than helping adults obtain a credential, degree, or job. We believe that social capital, financial solvency, and wealth accumulation are critical to advancing regional indicators including public health outcomes, community safety, business attraction, and sustainable employment.
