The Pittsburgh Foundation helps to build and strengthen the community by making it possible for a wide range of donors to create permanent, named endowment funds to meet critical local or national needs. Because we are a community foundation, our donors can benefit from considerable tax savings.
Many funds are established during a donor’s lifetime to provide an opportunity to participate in grant making. Other funds are established by bequest or some other method of deferred giving. Either way, a donor will have the help of our experienced staff to set up and administer a fund, manage its successful growth and ensure that charitable objectives are met.
Below are profiles of just a few of the many generous donors at The Pittsburgh Foundation:
