Are you a current volunteer, program participant, community gardener, or neighborhood resident seeking a more resilient future and a stronger local food system? The Philadelphia Orchard Project (POP) works with established community organizations to grow a movement that invests in people and perennial plants. Join the community of POP’s most committed supporters by making a monthly gift of $5 a month or more.

Monthly Giving

POP plants community orchards that develop over many years, investing time and attention to empower our partners so that each orchard site is a productive, welcoming space for years to come. Throughout the seasons, POP team members engage with partners and volunteers to provide hands-on training in ecological orchard care, encourage the harvest and use of plants, and promote ongoing community engagement. 

As a monthly donor, your gift will provide critical and consistent support for POP’s programs and more than 65 community partners. POP leads orchard planting efforts, educational programs, and hands-on training year-round, and your consistent donation can help make our approach to perennial community agriculture grow in impact and yield for decades to come. Help POP orchards take root by committing to a monthly gift today!
