The Merchants Fund provides grants and other support to merchants and small businesses in Philadelphia.
TMF was established in 1854 - a time in our nation’s history when there was no safety net to provide health and disability insurance or pension plans and retirement benefits - to provide charitable gifts to merchants facing financial hardship. The Fund evolved from the Mercantile Beneficial Association, an organization dedicated to providing business advice, networking opportunities, and protection from financial failure or default due to illness, old age, or disability.
Recognizing its privilege as a funder and the historical and systemic disinvestment in communities of color, including BIPOC business owners, as well as the inequitable access to capital experienced by BIPOC, immigrant, and women merchants, TMF seeks to:
- Utilize the access and acumen of its leadership to strengthen its grantmaking;
- Engage small business owners in decision-making processes;
- Align its corpus to reflect its values; and
- Make flexible grants that address these historic disparities and build wealth within these communities.

NESsT invests in enterprises that create quality jobs for underserved communities while sustaining the planet. Locally-based social enterprises are uniquely qualified to transform low-income, excluded and environmentally-vulnerable communities. These enterprises are on the ground, have the trust of the communities, and have created businesses aligned with their best interests. NESsT supports social enterprises through two businesses: (1) loan funds that provide patient debt financing to purpose-driven small and growing businesses in emerging markets and (2) an accelerator program that catalyzes impact-focused enterprises towards growth and investment readiness. Since its founding in 1997, NESsT has invested over $32M and trained and supported over 32,000 entrepreneurs across 50 countries. It has accelerated and financed 242 enterprises, in total sustaining more than 89,000 formal jobs and improving the lives of over 1.1 million people from the most marginalized communities around the world, including Black people, Indigenous peoples, the LGBTQIA+ community, migrants and refugees, people with disabilities, smallholder farmers, women, and youth.
