Annual Fund

Penn Charter teachers challenge and inspire the whole student — intellectually, emotionally, and personally. Through dynamic hands-on learning, students collaborate, think critically, and tackle complex challenges that prepare them for the world ahead.

Your gift helps shape the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

At Penn Charter, the arts are for everyone. Our Visual Arts and Design and Performing Arts departments give students the space to explore, create, and grow — sparking curiosity, building technical skills, and developing a lifelong appreciation for the creative process. From studio art and digital media to theater, film, and ensemble performance, your gift opens doors for every student to discover their inner artist.

Your gift powers championship-caliber athletics — from state-of-the-art facilities like the Graham to top-tier coaching that builds confidence, leadership, and community. It's how Penn Charter continues to improve its athletic program every year, creating new and better opportunities for our student-athletes of all ages.

Three centuries after William Penn founded this school on principles of equality and justice, that mission is more alive than ever. Your gift fuels Penn Charter's commitment to confronting Philadelphia's most pressing challenges, as well as strengthening financial aid programs and powering a more robust Center for Public Purpose.

Great teaching is the foundation of everything at Penn Charter. Your gift helps us to attract and retain the country's best educators, and supports their continued growth through professional development, our Teaching & Learning Center, and VITAL summer grants. When our teachers are inspired to innovate, our students are empowered to thrive.
