PHILADELPHIA HAS been awarded a $100,000 grant to address blight and literacy, a national nonprofit organization announced Monday.

The organization Cities of Service, funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, helps cities use volunteers to tackle local issues.

The grant will be used to support PhillyRising CREATES, which will help volunteers in 10 neighborhoods clean blighted spaces, create murals and hold community activities to revitalize various areas; and Technology Today Tutors, which will help volunteer tutors assist adults in developing literacy and digital skills.
