The Heinz Endowments Board of Directors approved more than $6.7 million in funding for equity-focused projects in the Pittsburgh region, including grants totaling over $2.3 million to support local criminal justice reform efforts.
The criminal justice grants are part of the Endowments’ three-year, $10 million reform initiative called the Restoration Project, which was launched at the end of 2018. The current round of funding is divided into three areas: advocacy and policy, promising practices, and research.
