McAuley Ministries announced grants totaling $2,123,190 to support advocacy, health & wellness, community & economic development, education, and capacity building initiatives in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Uptown, and West Oakland communities. McAuley Ministries is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by awarding Phase II Emergency Operational Support grants of $260,000 to 13 community partners, so they can continue serving vulnerable populations by providing food, shelter, child care, educational support, and other resources.
The foundation’s goal is to balance the emergency needs of the community by sustaining those organizations that are providing critical support during the COVID-19 pandemic, while continuing to invest in initiatives that will have a longer term impact on the health and development of the foundation’s focus neighborhoods.
