At Join Philly, we partner with institutions, funders, organizers, and neighbors to grow Philadelphia’s cultural infrastructure together. This isn’t charity work. It’s civic imagination.

Social isolation is a public health crisis. Disconnection weakens cities from the inside out.
Join Philly exists to reverse that. We make it easier for people to find community—not just through a website or event, but through a growing ecosystem of clubs, rituals, and storytelling. We're not creating yet another platform, we're building the connective tissue that cities need to survive.
If you're a funder, you're investing in public health, civic trust, and neighborhood resilience.
