Photo: Chris Robinson With Philadelphia’s municipal primaries less than a year away, Every Voice, Every Vote is today announcing the launch of a new, two-year, $1. 8 million grant program to continue supporting in-depth local journalism on key issues and to catalyze civic action. Every Voice, Every Vote is organized by The Lenfest Institute for Journalism.
Lead support for the next phase of Every Voice, Every Vote is provided by the William Penn Foundation with additional funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Philadelphia Health Partnership, Judy and Peter Leone, and The Lenfest Institute.
The citywide coalition was formed in 2023 to inform voters ahead of municipal elections, connect residents to local government, and track the progress of the city’s response to the issues Philadelphians deemed most important—including public safety, education, environmental, housing, and economic opportunity.
The coalition, which consists of local media organizations, community organizations, and independent civic content creators , has become Philadelphia’s largest-ever collaborative journalism and community engagement effort. Applications for funding are now open through July 13 at 11:59 p. m.
Media and community organizations can now apply for support for projects that: Strengthen civic engagement by helping Philadelphians better understand and engage with the issues shaping their communities Build trust through locally rooted reporting, listening efforts, and community-informed conversations Reach new and underserved audiences through partnerships with trusted civic content creators and community voices.
Since its launch, Every Voice, Every Vote has expanded access to trusted information, engaged residents across Philadelphia, and strengthened civic participation through more than 365 civic engagement projects, content in more than 15 languages, and over 200 collaborations across media, community organizations, and civic news creators.
In the past year, it created a Solutions Progress Report to track city policy initiatives and launched Community Conversations to bring together journalists, city leaders, and community members around key issues.
To ensure reporting is responsive to community needs, the coalition will once again partner with the research firm SSRS to conduct a new public opinion polling effort that builds on past research and identifies which issues remain top of mind for Philadelphians.
Over the course of the two-year program, Every Voice, Every Vote will also deepen its civic news creator partnerships and expand its Community Conversation series, hosting town hall-style meetings throughout the city.
“Every Voice, Every Vote has illustrated the power of collaboration to expand access to trusted information, reach underserved audiences, and help residents engage more deeply with the issues affecting their lives,” said Lenfest Institute Head of Philadelphia Programs Shawn Mooring. “This new investment builds on that momentum and supports the journalism and community partnerships that are essential to a healthy democracy.
