ATTENTION PARTNERS IN KNOX AND FRANKLIN:
After meeting with numerous nonprofit leaders and discussing the challenges brought on by COVID-19, out partners at Bridge Builders Community Foundations developed their Community Needs website!
The Community Needs website allows organizations to submit any items/supplies needed for ongoing operations. These requests may include masks, cleaning supplies, disposable utensils, canned food items, etc. After submission, the website will then display the organization’s needs for the community to view and donate requested items. To request or donate a needed item, please visit https://bbcfneeds.org/. #pittsburgh #philanthropy #covid19response #franklinpa #knoxpa

The McElhattan Foundation is committed to enhancing the quality of life at the end of life. In our Spring 2020 grant cycle, we awarded the University of Pittsburgh Palliative Research Center’s Dr. Yael Schenker and Dr. Bob Arnold a 3-year grant to pilot palliative care telehealth solutions in rural oncology clinics.

Girls of Steel isn't letting COVID-19 keep them from strengthening their team! In March, @girlsofsteelrobotics began holding Zoom leadership meetings as well as workshops and hosting speakers such as Ayana Ledford, the CMU director for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. They also held their yearly Gala virtually, where four guest panelists were four Girls of Steel alumnae. We love seeing our grantees find creative ways to stay connected!
