Neighborhood Allies aims to create a more just, fair, and inclusive society by engaging the Pittsburgh area residents and organizations with innovative tools for transformative community change. They target expanding opportunities to participate, prosper, and reach full potential.
The RISE HIGH Grant Partnership Program intends to partner with applicants to achieve measurable equity and inclusion results in the Pittsburgh area, emphasizing racial equity and justice by addressing the root causes of inequities. The program priorities include providing grantees with financial resources and technical assistance to enhance organizational capacity, supporting strategies to dismantle inequities, aligning with the goals within their 3 Year Roadmap, and specifically supporting Black and Brown-led organizations in focused geographies. The current cycle offers funding rounds with awards up to $15,000 for as many as 19 RISE HIGH Growth Grants.
Priority funding is allocated for projects or programs located in our key geographical areas, which include: the Hilltop, the Hill District, Larimer, Homewood, Millvale, and Wilkinsburg.
