Working together to build safe communities.

The Hear Foundation is the first and only nonprofit in Pittsburgh dedicated to collaborating with community leaders, Pittsburgh Police, residents and the City to create a safe, thriving 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, police, 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. Our grantmaking initiatives and programs funded by The Hear Foundation focus on the key issues of gun violence reduction, trauma, and workforce development.

Learn more about our community grantmaking programs, including our Summer of Healing initiative.
