Mission & Focus Areas

It also prioritizes measurable outcomes, long-term sustainability, financial accountability, collaboration, and work that complements rather than duplicates other nonprofits.
The program states that general operating costs and events are ineligible. The 2025 filing, however, describes the foundation’s sole listed grant as “GENERAL SUPPORT.”

In filing year 2025, the foundation reported one grant totaling $551,613. That grant, to “SEE ATTACHED” in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was also the smallest, largest, and median grant reported for the year. The filing does not identify another grantee by name.
