Review Criteria

Priority is allocated to organizations located in our main area of interest, which includes Pittsburgh, Southwestern Pennsylvania, and Northern West Virginia. Following this, priority is extended to organizations situated in Northern Maryland, the entirety of Pennsylvania, and across the United States. The Foundation notes a high volume of proposals from the Southwestern Pennsylvania region, resulting in constrained financial resources available for initiatives beyond our key geographical areas of focus.
