The Hear Foundation Annual Fund
Your donation will help The Hear Foundation collaborate with community leaders, Pittsburgh Public Safety Professionals, residents, and the City to create a safe, thriving community for all in Pittsburgh. Your generous contribution will assist The Hear Foundation in Pittsburgh as it works alongside community leaders, Public Safety Professionals, and residents to establish a secure and prosperous community for all.
With the support of a diverse and dedicated group of leaders representing a cross-section of the community, including grassroots organizations, nonprofit directors, activists, CEOs, and public safety and mental health professionals, The Hear Foundation convenes programs that foster healing and break down barriers in the Pittsburgh community.
We bring together residents, public safety professionals, community groups, and national experts to actively listen to and learn from one another, and to collaborate on strategies to save lives and make our communities safe. Grantmaking initiatives and programs funded by The Hear Foundation focus on the key issues of gun violence reduction, trauma, and workforce development.
