The Pittsburgh Foundation - Economic Mobility Fund
About this Organization
Both programmatic- and policy-level interventions are needed for low-income families and communities to build financial security and increase economic mobility.
--> Access to post-secondary education: We seek to support programs that enable students to earn college credit while in high school; admissions navigation support and academic and financial counseling; re-engagement strategies for students who have stopped attending school; and supports for non-traditional students.
--> Career advancement: We are interested in supporting organizations that offer technology training with career potential.
--> Entrepreneurship: We are interested in efforts to increase entrepreneurship.
--> Homeownership: We are specifically interested in funding programs that include personalized financial and home purchasing education; advocacy for mortgage assistance initiatives; and other programs that include collective ownership options.
