Volpe Koenig Kicks Off 2021 IPromise ® Grant Competition

Volpe Koenig, Philadelphia’s largest law firm dedicated solely to the practice of Intellectual Property, today announced the kick off of its 14th annual IPromise Charitable Giving Fund (“IPromise”) grant competition.

Established in 2007, IPromise supports qualifying Greater Philadelphia or Trenton area non-profit organizations by awarding $20,000 grants to two each year. This year, organizations dedicated to Arts, Culture and Humanities or Community Development are invited to apply by visiting IPromise, reviewing official guidelines and submitting applications before August 6, 2021. Organizations must be at least two years old and headquartered in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Burlington, Camden Gloucester or Mercer counties to be eligible for an IPromise grant.

Said firm President John C. Donch Jr, “Volpe Koenig has given more than half a million dollars to worthy organizations across our area. When we launched the program back in 2007, it was hard to imagine all the truly extraordinary people we’d meet along the way. We’ve been inspired watching how their hard work makes lives better and communities stronger. Our entire team has been honored to open doors for our grant winners and those they serve.”

To date, IPromise has awarded more than $500,000 to grant recipients across six eligible categories that rotate each year.
