National Pennsylvania Day Mini Grants
in partnership with America250PA
The 2023 application is now closed, but check back soon for the list of winners! Selected applicants will be notified in June.
The Pennsylvania Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial (America250PA) was established by the legislature and Governor in 2018 to plan, encourage, develop, and coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Pennsylvania’s integral role in that event, and the impact of its people on the nation’s past, present, and future.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is proud to partner with America250PA in enhancing their volunteer component by supporting community improvement initiatives on National Pennsylvania Day, an annual observance that is celebrated on July 20th.
America250PA recognizes the impact that volunteerism has on our communities and is committed to encouraging every resident to participate. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is eager to support America250PA and their partners through this partnership.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful mini grants are available to existing America250PA partners (must have been a partner as of December 31, 2022) conducting projects that improve the community and engage volunteers. Projects could include community cleanups, park improvements, revitalization efforts, river sweeps, graffiti abatement, murals, etc. *
The 250th Commemoration allows Pennsylvanians the opportunity to showcase the amazing people, places, and businesses that make them #PAPROUD. To ensure we capture the best the Commonwealth has to offer, it requires a statewide effort.
