Jefferson Regional Foundation is a grantmaking foundation dedicated to investing in the health and vitality of the communities served by Jefferson Hospital in the South Hills and lower Mon Valley of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Mary Hillman Jennings Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life in Pittsburgh and southwestern Pennsylvania through strategic and thoughtful grantmaking in support of a wide range of institutions.

The Pittsburgh Foundation works to improve the quality of life in the Pittsburgh region by evaluating and addressing community issues, promoting responsible philanthropy and connecting donors to the critical needs of the community.

 The Posner Foundation of Pittsburgh invests in organizations across the globe and in our own community of Pittsburgh. We value our relationships with our partners and invest in their long-term visions. Note that we do not accept unsolicited proposals at this time. 

The Grable Foundation is guided by our mission to help children and youth become independent, caring, contributing members of society by supporting programs critical to children’s successful development. 

With a focus on southwestern Pennsylvania, we seek out nonprofit partners who share our commitment to making our region the best place in the world to be — and to raise — a child.

The PNC Foundation's priority is to form partnerships with community-based nonprofit organizations in order to enhance educational opportunities, with an emphasis on early childhood education, and to promote the growth of communities through economic development initiatives. 

The Heinz Endowments seeks to help our region thrive as a whole and just community, and through that work to model solutions to major national and global challenges. We are based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where we concentrate on advancing a sustainable future for our community and planet, successful learning outcomes for young people and their families, and a culture of engaged creativity for all our citizens.

The Heinz Endowments is focusing $4.4 million on the child care sector, prenatal – age three well-being, and capacity-building training to help communities advocate for the policies necessary for systemic change in the early learning and child care arena.

The Foundation provides leading scientific and medical societies the resources to develop distinctive educational programs designed to improve the quality of care in resource-limited areas. 

In its 17 years of existence, the Four Freedoms Fund (FFF) has become a vital force for strengthening the long-term ability of immigrant justice organizations to effectively organize and build power from the ground up.  FFF has supported a strong infrastructure of local, state-based and regional organizations working to build lasting power in immigrant communities for advancing policies and practices that protect, promote and defend their self-determination, rights and opportunities. 

At Duquesne Light Company (DLC), we like to think we’re larger than light. For more than a century, we have been working around the clock to deliver a safe and reliable supply of electricity to our nearly 600,000 customers in Allegheny and Beaver counties. 

As part of our commitment, we are investing more than $2.6 billion in infrastructure and technology upgrades between 2010 and 2020. These investments will do more than keep your lights on, they'll help keep your life on.
