The Small and Mighty grants program was created in 2016 in response to barriers that smaller organizations faced in accessing support from foundations. Since then, the program has provided operating and program support funding to nonprofits meeting basic needs across Allegheny County.  As of 2023, the Foundation has awarded $2.7 million in grants to 85 unique organizations with budgets under $600,000. 

GRANT CYCLE: 2024 

The 2024 Small and Mighty grant program is a multi-year funding opportunity which will provide two-year project and operating support grants up to $40,000.
