Abstract

For almost twenty years, the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation (WFRF) has been a key player in efforts to revitalize neighborhoods in Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, helping to breathe new life into low- income communities and engage residents in community revitalization efforts. The mission of the Foundation is to improve the quality of life for children and families living in low-income communities. Since 2003, the Foundation has been providing place-based neighborhood planning and implementation grants, sparking progress directly at the neighborhood level, encouraging resident participation, long-term sustainability and restoring a sense of pride in previously neglected communities.
