Budget in the City

Civically Engaged and The People’s Budget are joining forces to bring you Budget in the City, an interactive civic education event designed to help Philadelphians understand how the city budget works and why it matters.

Together, we’ll break down the basics of Philadelphia’s budgeting process, explore what a fully funded city could look like, and identify meaningful ways residents can advocate for change. From schools and housing to public safety and community services, the city budget directly shapes our everyday lives.

The budget is more than a financial plan — it’s a blueprint for Philadelphia’s future. By getting involved, you can help ensure that every neighborhood’s voice is heard and that public resources reflect the needs of the people who call this city home.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
