Overview

The Heinz Endowments’ Creativity outcomes are focused on promoting individual benefits, community development, and community cohesion in the SW PA region.

The Heinz Endowments believes in the power of arts, culture, and creativity to provide meaning, beauty, connection, and vitality to the Pittsburgh region’s residents and communities. As a leading regional arts funder, we seek to elevate the role of the cultural sector, to make its benefits accessible to all residents, and to bring the power of the arts to bear on the important issues facing our city and region. Through grantmaking and other forms of support, the Endowments achieves this vision through four areas of investments: Cultural Organizations, Individual Artists, Creative Learning, and Creative Places.
