There will be plenty of time for questions.

Meet our 2026 Community Leader!

Gregory Benjamin is the Ward Leader of the 51st Ward in Kingsessing, Southwest Philadelphia. A lifelong community organizer, he has served as a block captain for over 25 years and a committee person in the 5th Division for more than 20 years. Benjamin is known for turning problems into progress. After returning to the 5000 block of Springfield Avenue in 2003, he worked with neighbors to restore safety, stability, and pride. In 2008, when the Nutter administration proposed citywide library closures, Benjamin helped lead the successful effort to preserve the Kingsessing Library. His record demonstrates that organized community leadership, faith, and persistence can drive meaningful and lasting neighborhood change.

Our 2026 Community Development Champions played a lead role in facilitating $3.6 million in new City funding to strengthen the capacity of Community Development Corporations through the Community Capacity Building Fund. City Council President Johnson and Councilmember Gauthier championed funding for this purpose in the City’s FY25 and FY26 budgets, and Commerce leadership has played a key role in activating these resources through the Community Capacity Building Fund. All four champions have been strong supporters of flexible funding for CDCs and we look forward to celebrating them at the Gala!
