Mission
DGW TRANSFORMS PHILANTHROPY FROM A FRAGMENTED, SHORT-TERM FUNDING MODEL INTO "SOCIAL INVESTING" APPLYING THE SAME STRATEGIC, DIVERSIFIED APPROACH USED IN FINANCIAL INVESTING TO CREATE LASTING SOCIAL IMPACT. BY ENGAGING PHILANTHROPISTS AND PROVIDING THEM WITH A PORTFOLIO OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, DGW ENABLES GREATER POSITIVE AND LONGER-LASTING IMPACT WHILE ADDRESSING COMPLEX PROBLEMS LIKE HOMELESSNESS, GUN VIOLENCE, FOOD SECURITY, AND EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITY WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA.
Activities or mission (Part I)
BRING PHILANTHROPISTS AND ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER TO SOLVE COMPLEX SOCIAL ISSUES THROUGH COORDINATED, MEASURABLE COLLABORATION.
-
DGW WILL PLAY A THREE-FOLD ROLE IN THESE COLLABORATIVES: (1) BUILDING THE COLLABORATIVE BY IDENTIFYING ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE APPROPRIATE SUBJECT MATTER AND GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS AND BRINGING THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER AROUND A SPECIFIC SET OF GOALS; (2) PROVIDING GRANTS TO THE COLLABORATIVE'S ORGANIZATIONS TO FUND THE ACTIVITIES IN FURTHERANCE OF THOSE GOALS; (3) GATHERING INFORMATION REGARDING THE IMPACT OF THE COLLABORATIVE AND USING THAT INFORMATION TO INFORM DONORS OF THE DIRECT RESULTS OF THEIR GIFTS AND TO ADJUST THE GOALS AND PLANS OF THE COLLABORATIVE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

2025 THE PARTNERS' UNDERLYING VIEW IS THAT COMPLEX SOCIAL ISSUES ARE MOST ACUTELY EXPERIENCED AND MOST EFFECTIVELY SOLVED IN NEIGHBORHOODS. OUR THEORY OF CHANGE AND IMPACT IS THAT RESPONSES TO COMPLEX SOCIAL ISSUES NEED TO BE TRAUMA-INFORMED, PARTICIPATORY, AND COMPREHENSIVE. THIS MOU REFLECTS THE RECENT MULTI-YEAR CO-CREATING KENSINGTON PLANNING PROCESS AND THE MOVE TO OPERATIONALIZE RESIDENT PRIORITIES THROUGH SPECIFIC STRATEGIES. THE INITIAL DGW-SUPPORTED COLLABORATIVE PILOT OF SIX ORGANIZATIONS HAS DEVELOPED A PILOT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THE INTERSECTION OF TRAUMA AND HOUSING INSECURITY COLLABORATIVELY. THIS STRATEGY INCLUDES SUPPORT THROUGH THE EXPERTISE OF TRAUMA AND HOUSING SPECIALISTS; IMPLEMENTATION OF ROOT-CAUSE ASSESSMENTS; AND CONNECTIONS TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, AND FAMILY- AND CHILDCARE-RELATED ISSUES.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
