| Description: |
With grant making that averages $60 million annually, the Endowments ranks among the 50 largest foundations in the country. While most of our grants go to organizations and programs in southwestern Pennsylvania, our size compels us to use the region as a laboratory to develop solutions to problems that are national in scope. Still, for the areas covered in each of our program areas, the needs far exceed available resources. The grant making of our Innovation Economy Program, for example, was $13.5 million last year, but it sought to affect the direction of a $120 billion regional economy. |
