National Philanthropic Trust (NPT), currently located at 165 Township Line Road in Jenkintown, announced yesterday its one millionth grant.
Since its founding in 1996, NPT has distributed more than $44 billion to nonprofit organizations across the United States and around the world, according to their press release.
The milestone grant was awarded to All Our Kin, a national nonprofit organization that trains, supports, and sustains family childcare educators.
“The opportunity to make our one-millionth grant is a powerful moment to recognize both the extraordinary generosity of our donors and the essential work of nonprofit organizations like All Our Kin,” said Holly Welch Stubbing, president and CEO. “NPT is focused on serving as a trusted partner—helping donors achieve their philanthropic goals and strengthening the nonprofit organizations that serve communities across the US and the world every day.”
Over the past three decades, NPT has raised more than $80.2 billion in charitable contributions from individuals, families, and corporations nationwide.
“NPT donors recommend grants ranging from $1,000 to multi-million-dollar gifts, supporting a broad range of needs including arts and culture, education, the environment, health, human services, international aid, religion, and public and societal benefit”, the press release said.
NPT’s success was featured earlier this week by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The story discusses a rise in the nonprofit’s accounts due to “relentless stock-market gains, plus tax changes in President Donald Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,'”. Stubbing told The Inquirer that NPT funded 183,000 grants in every state and 67 countries totaling more than $10 billion, up 72% from 2024.
“It’s dramatically up in every category. If we look at the fields of interest by sector — health, environment, animals, arts and culture, human services — all are at 30% or well over 30% increases,” she said.
Stubbing also discussed NPT’s relocation to Conshohocken, a decision first announced in January. The main reason for the move: “We were out of space.”
