About CPUF

Our mission is to create a more equitable Philadelphia for all residents — and to educate the public on transportation, land use, and public space issues.

CPUF exists to provide strategic capacity and fiscal sponsorship to a wide range of initiatives. We originate and incubate civic and technology projects that provide spillover benefits for the whole network of urbanist and civic tech organizations across the city.

Good ideas, projects, and experiments often need lightweight admin support to unlock fundraising potential — one reason we exist is to handle the admin headaches that can present roadblocks to good ideas achieving liftoff.

Watch this space for original projects, news, and updates.
