Bucks County grants. Found and managed.
Bucks County funders from Doylestown to Levittown, including county housing dollars and grants for behavioral health and human services.
Grants for Bucks County nonprofits.
Bucks County follows the Delaware River from the Philadelphia line north toward the Lehigh Valley. Lower Bucks includes older, denser communities such as Levittown and Bristol, central Bucks centers on Doylestown, the county seat, and upper Bucks is more rural, so needs and funders shift from one end of the county to the other.
Bucks County sits outside the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey region. It has its own United Way of Bucks County, based in Levittown, which keeps the money it raises in the county. Foundations Community Partnership in Doylestown, formed after the 2007 sale of Foundations Behavioral Health, funds behavioral health and human services for children, young adults and families, and the Bucks County Foundation makes competitive grants and awards scholarships to county students.
On the public side, the county’s Department of Housing and Community Development administers CDBG, HOME, Emergency Solutions Grants and Housing Trust Fund dollars. Pursuit lets teams track these county cycles alongside regional, state and federal opportunities.
