Financials and Accountability
Urban Dream Chasers, doing business as Level Up Philly, is a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (EIN 84-4760218) committed to transparency and accountability.
How Level Up Philly Is Funded
Level Up Philly is supported by generous contributions to Urban Dream Chasers from individuals, foundations and companies, and by government grants. From 2021 through 2025, Pennsylvania and City of Philadelphia agencies awarded $2,650,000 in grants for Level Up Philly’s programs. These grants were made to Antioch Christian Fellowship, doing business as Antioch of Calvary Chapel (EIN 32-0078838), which served as fiscal sponsor and administered the funds. Because the grants were made to Antioch, they do not appear in the revenue reported on Urban Dream Chasers’ Form 990. Level Up Philly’s founder and Executive Director, Aaron Campbell, is also lead pastor of Antioch.
