The Heinz Endowments seeks to help the region thrive as a whole and just community, and through that work to model solutions to major national and global challenges. They are based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they concentrate on advancing a sustainable future for the community and planet, successful learning outcomes for young people and their families, and a culture of engaged creativity for all citizens.
The Heinz Endowments strives to improve the quality of life for all, focusing its grantmaking primarily on the southwestern Pennsylvania region and in addressing many challenges that we share with communities across the United States, and globally.
The Heinz Endowment has established three priority strategic funding areas: Creativity, Learning and Sustainability.
These priorities are purposefully designed to address pressing community need, and to work together in funding programs that may be positioned at the intersections of the strategic areas. And at the core of the Endowments' grantmaking principles is the advancement of a Just Pittsburgh with a steadfast commitment to issues of equity and social justice. A Just Pittsburgh creates a community that is fair, inclusive and equitable for all.
