Grantmaking: Locally focused, globally engaged
The Heinz Endowments strives to improve the quality of life for all residents in the southwestern Pennsylvania region by addressing many challenges that we share with communities across the United States, and globally.
Alert to society’s changing social and economic dynamics, the foundation seeks to apply collaborative, creative and transformative strategies in its approach to critical issues in its efforts to safeguard the well-being of families, individuals and organizations in our regional community.
That is why, following extensive consultation with and valued input from local nonprofit, civic and organizational leadership, the Endowments developed a new grantmaking model by establishing seven priority strategies: Arts & Culture; Civic Participation; Climate, Environment & Health; Community & Economic Development; Food Systems; Veterans; and Workforce.
