#ONEDAY Critical Needs Alert is Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

The Pittsburgh Foundation hosts the #ONEDAY Critical Needs Alert, an online giving event that supports basic needs and essential human services in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties. This year's Critical Needs Alert will take place online at www.pittsburghgives.org on from 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.

The Pittsburgh Foundation and its donors provide $500,000 in incentive funds benefiting Allegheny County nonprofits. The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County is providing $50,000 in incentive funds for Westmoreland County organizations. We hope you will join us in supporting nonprofit organizations doing the important work of helping our neighbors to thrive.

Since the inception of the Critical Needs Alerts in 2013, the foundations have raised over $17 million, including incentive funds. This total includes Critical Needs Alert campaigns as well as the #LoveIsStronger day of giving campaign following the attack on the Tree of Life*Or L’Simcha, Dor Hadash and New Light congregations in November 2018 that raised $794,000 benefitting eight organizations.
