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.

Paul Robeson House & Museum

Paul Robeson, a renowned singer, actor, and activist, spent his final years in Philadelphia at 4951 Walnut Street, a historic house purchased by his sister Marian R. Forsythe and her husband, Dr. James Forsythe. In the late 1950s, the Forsythes made this three-story residence their home, where they later welcomed Robeson after the death of his wife in 1965. Despite being a retired schoolteacher, Marian, who was four years older than Robeson, provided him with loving care and created a warm and comfortable environment.
