H. Chase Lenfest owns or holds interests in a diverse portfolio of companies operating in media, marketing, technology, real estate, and private and public equity investment. He is a dedicated philanthropist, with a particular passion for improving the quality of life for urban and inner-city residents. 

Mr. Lenfest's place-based mission began in 2008 with his building of the Lenfest Center. The 52,000 square-foot Lenfest Center was designed as a safe and welcoming community-focused hub offering year-round recreational, educational, and other resources for neighborhood children and adults to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

As it became clear that a safe space for the community was, while valuable, not addressing the larger issues facing Hunting Park-East Tioga residents, Mr. Lenfest evolved the Lenfest Center into North10, Philadelphia—a community backbone for residential engagement and collective efforts across a spectrum of neighborhood revitalization initiatives. 

​

Through HCL Philanthropy, Mr. Lenfest envisions transforming Hunting Park-East Tioga with bold, strategic investments that will catalyze lasting change.
