WELCOME TO BLOCS.ORG

Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools, BLOCS, is an independent charitable organization supported by individuals, companies, firms and foundations of all sizes in the five county Philadelphia region. Since 1980, BLOCS has invested in the lives of tens of thousands of children throughout the Philadelphia area, including some of the poorest neighborhoods in the City.

BLOCS is committed to giving children access to a high quality, values based education in Philadelphia area Catholic schools. From its inception BLOCS has been supported by a diverse group of businesses and individuals.

Children who attend grade school, high school or the schools of special education in and around Philadelphia are eligible for BLOCS Scholarships. Through its scholarships, BLOCS reaches more children in more communities than almost any other private education charity in the region.

During the 2017-2018 school year, BLOCS was able to grant partial tuition scholarships to more than 14,000 students and raise over 19.5 million dollars in funds for families in need.

With the support of its Board, friends, and donors, BLOCS endeavors to increase the number of scholarships distributed each year and help strengthen the schools for future generations and for the good of our region.
