Support Community
We seek to support community and ensure nonprofits’ success by building trusting relationships with nonprofit organizations across the region that are doing life-improving work in the community. This includes grantmaking as well as “more than money” support to advance our shared goals.
We will focus our Foundation-directed grantmaking on the community issue areas listed below, and we will intentionally engage the community in establishing priorities across these areas.
- Arts and culture: To strengthen small-to-mid-sized arts organizations and support individual artists by fostering a healthy and just arts ecosystem.
- Basic needs: To provide direct assistance to low-income individuals and families to attain food, shelter, physical and mental health care, child care, education and employment.
- Economic mobility: To reduce the wealth gap in Allegheny County.
- Environmental action: To help communities at risk of environmental harm and prevent exposure.
- Equity and social justice: To support civic participation and community organizing to achieve policy changes that will address the root causes of economic inequities.
