The Lenfest Foundation is making plans to wind down its philanthropy. H.F. “Gerry” Lenfest, now 82 and his wife Marguerite have decided to step aside and turn the reins over to 38 year old Philadelphia entrepreneur Keith Leaphart to run the new eight-member board until the foundation spends itself down. Since 2000 the Lenfests have given away more than $1 billion.

Philadelphia City Council opened budget hearings today as Mayor Michael Nutter outlined his five year financial and strategic plan that prioritizes preserving the city’s core services. The $3.7 billion budget includes setting $26 million aside as a provision for future labor agreements with municipal unions.
