Wish Book | The Pittsburgh Foundation

The Wish Book is a soft-cover, printed book that is mailed to our donor community every fall. Donors may use their donor-advised fund to make grant requests to fulfill the "wishes" on a rolling basis between October and February. In 2025, donors contributions totaled $638,000 to 100 Wish Book organizations.
