Built By Community, Powered By Legacy

For six decades, the Leon H. Sullivan Charitable Trust has served as a beacon of economic justice, self-determination, and community leadership across Philadelphia. Established through the visionary leadership of Rev. Dr. Leon H. Sullivan and Zion Baptist Church, the Trust remains steadfast in its commitment to expanding opportunity, advancing dignity, and empowering communities to thrive.

As we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable evening honoring a legacy that has transformed lives—and investing in the future that still lies ahead.

Your support will help accelerate our vision by allowing us to:

Increase Annual Grantmaking from $200,000 to $300,000 annually over the next five years.
Expand Community Programming that equips our tenants, scholars, grantees, and neighborhood partners with the resources and connections they need to grow and succeed.
Invest in the Leon H. Sullivan Human Services Center, preserving and enhancing one of Philadelphia's most important hubs for community engagement, nonprofit collaboration, and economic opportunity.
Strengthen Strategic Partnerships and Organizational Capacity to ensure the Trust continues to lead, innovate, and serve for generations to come.

As Rev. Dr. Leon H. Sullivan so powerfully reminded us,

"A commitment to excellence is a commitment to humanity."

Together, we can honor his legacy by investing in the next chapter of impact. Help us achieve our $500,000 Gala fundraising goal and ensure the Leon H. Sullivan Charitable Trust continues building opportunity, empowering communities, and transforming lives for the next 60 years.
