Pottstown Regional Community Foundation (PRCF) connects people who care with causes that matter. As a public community foundation, we collaborate with donors, nonprofits, businesses, and government to address the region’s most pressing challenges and unlock new opportunities. Serving a 10-mile radius around Pottstown, our work advances equity, fosters collaboration, and drives measurable community impact.
Pottstown Regional Community Foundation connects donors, partners, and community leaders with the community’s greatest needs, investing in systemic change that improves health outcomes, expands educational access, and builds pathways to economic stability for all residents.
A thriving region where every resident has the opportunity to learn, live, and earn in ways that allow them to reach their fullest potential.
Pottstown Regional Community Foundation serves as a catalyst for local philanthropy that drives equitable solutions in health, education, and economic opportunity across the greater Pottstown region.
PRCF plays a critical role beyond grantmaking. We serve as a hub for philanthropy and a driver of sustainable community change:

We invest in comprehensive youth development that lays the foundation for lifelong success. Through early childhood programs, we help families prepare children for kindergarten readiness. Our K-12 wellness initiatives integrate nutrition, physical activity, and mental health into school environments. Youth preparedness efforts focus on building leadership, resilience, and life skills that prepare young people for education, careers, and engaged citizenship.
We address health disparities by investing in both access and prevention. Our support strengthens the built environment through safe parks, trails, and public spaces. We expand healthcare access by supporting medical, dental, and behavioral health providers who serve uninsured or under-insured residents. Health equity initiatives reduce barriers and empower community members to achieve their highest level of well-being.
We strengthen financial security by removing systemic barriers to employment, housing, and mobility. Workforce development programs offer job training and career pipelines. Revitalization projects enhance neighborhood safety, improve housing stock, and promote inclusive infrastructure. Transportation access connects residents to jobs, healthcare, and education, while financial empowerment programs build skills in money management, credit repair, and entrepreneurship.
These pillars also serve as the foundation of our Grantmaking Framework, which guides all funding decisions toward long-term, measurable impact.

A community foundation is a public charity that pools gifts from many donors to meet evolving community needs. Donors establish funds, and the foundation’s professional staff manage investments, ensuring reliable grantmaking aligned with community priorities and donor intent. This pooled approach magnifies even small gifts into greater impact over time.
We serve as a trusted partner and convener, helping donors turn their values into strategic investments that strengthen the entire Pottstown region.
