After doling out hundreds of millions of dollars over several decades, one of the few major philanthropies in the Philadelphia region began a quick fade from the scene with the death yesterday of its ardent doyenne of hometown causes.

The Pew Charitable Trusts today announced that Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R) will lease over 14,000 square feet of space in its D.C. headquarters, located at 901 E Street, NW. In partnership with the District and Mayor Adrian M. Fenty, Pew has dedicated the vast majority of its building to housing 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, thus making it the city's first "nonprofit village."
