Managed by The Pittsburgh Foundation, which is also a contributor, the Emergency Action Fund will provide financial support quickly to nonprofits and government agencies whose operations support: senior citizens services; child care services; health care needs and medical supplies; food provision during the emergency; shelter for the homeless, the elderly and those with underlying conditions; and assistance to vulnerable populations under stress from the outbreak.
The Emergency Action Fund will serve as a hub for accepting donations from individuals, foundations, and businesses and distributing those funds rapidly to nonprofits on the front lines of COVID-19 response.
Established in 1945, The Pittsburgh Foundation is one of the nation’s oldest community foundations and is the 15th largest of more than 750 similar foundations across the United States. As a community foundation, its resources comprise endowment funds established by individuals, businesses and organizations with a passion for charitable giving and a deep commitment to the Pittsburgh region.
