Organizations and Businesses

The Philadelphia region is home to hundreds of non-profit organizations, civic and professional associations, and public agencies dedicated to connecting the region to the rest of the world and enhancing its international reputation.  

Whether it's an international development agency working on behalf of women's rights in Afghanistan or teaching sustainable agricultural techniques in Africa, an association of citizens organized in support of the goals of the United Nations, a chapter of the International Visitors Council dedicated to citizen diplomacy, or a chamber of commerce focused on promoting business ties with South America, you can find it here.

From multi-national corporations to neighborhood restaurants specializing in ethnic and regional cuisine; from law and accounting firms that handle cross-border transactions every day to a busy port that ships a world of goods; from airlines serving both Asia and Europe to a pharmaceutical industry that spans the globe; and from international investors to small-to-medium businesses that import and export goods of every kind, the Greater Philadelphia business community is one of the keys to the region’s vibrant international character.

Playing cricket was popular in mid-nineteenth century America, and Philadelphia was the center of the craze.  After observing the game being played by English immigrant millworkers in Germantown, college students formed teams at Haverford in 1833 and at the University of Pennsylvania in 1842.

The catalyzing agent at Penn was William Rotch Wister (1827-1911). Called the “Father of American Cricket,” he went on to play a role in founding both the Philadelphia and Germantown Cricket Clubs in 1854. By the time of the Civil War, at least thirty clubs were playing in the city.
