Making a generational impact, one fruit tree at a time



by Eileen Rose O'Donnell

Philadelphia Orchard Project (POP) is an established part of the movement to develop more sustainable, equitable, and ethical local food systems. Since its founding, POP has worked with community-based groups to plan, plant, and care for urban orchards and food forests. You can find fruit trees in most Philadelphia neighborhoods! POP received an Impact100 $100,000 grant in 2022.

Join early with a membership installment plan

It’s not too early to commit to 2024!

The membership books are open now through November 15, 2023. An Impact100 installment plan is a great way to pledge future membership and spread out the payments. A long-time member said, “I’ve paid by installments since the option was made available. I’m glad to be on the list of members who renew early. I’m starting right away this year because $100/month* is a lot easier to budget than paying the full membership fee in November!”

*Your amount due per month depends on which month you elect to start the installment plan. For full details or to start an installment plan, visit our website.
