Who we are

ESTABLISHED IN 1945, The Pittsburgh Foundation is one of the nation's oldest and largest community foundations.

Our mission is 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.

OUR VISION

We are committed to creating a vibrant, equitable and just Pittsburgh region that supports everyone — regardless of race, identity or circumstance — to thrive and fulfill their potential. 

OUR VALUES

The Pittsburgh Foundation's values are evident in the deep relationships its people have forged in the region. As we convene partners and develop strategies to improve quality of life for everyone, the staff has pledged to follow these values in their work. 

• Accountability: We act with transparency and integrity, fulfilling our commitments and owning the outcomes of our decisions. 
• Collaboration: We unite in our work together to increase impact in our community for the collective greater good. 
• Community: We embrace the opportunity to learn from those we serve and those who serve us to help shape solutions. 
• Racial Justice: We work to enact fundamental systemic changes by eliminating policies, laws, practices, attitudes and cultural messages that reinforce differential outcomes by race.
