Welcome to the new Seybert Foundation  

The Seybert Foundation, incorporated in 1906 as The Adam and Maria Sarah Seybert Institution for Poor Boys and Girls of Philadelphia, is a charitable foundation that was established through the Will of Henry Seybert in memory of his parents.

The Seybert Foundation is dedicated to supporting our nonprofit partners, and starting in 2013 the Foundation's grants will be made in the form of General Operating Support. To read more about the rationale behind this exciting new direction, please visit the "New Approach" section of this website.

Let us see your program in action! To learn more about our nonprofit partners, and for you to get to know us, The Seybert Foundation welcomes the opportunity to conduct site visits of existing and potential grantee organizations.  Contact us to schedule a visit.
