Description
The Hillman Foundation offers grants to support projects that advance its mission and strategic priorities, with a strong emphasis on initiatives benefiting Pittsburgh and the surrounding southwestern Pennsylvania region.

The Foundation’s program staff and Board of Trustees review proposals on a rolling basis, prioritizing alignment with the Foundation’s geographic and programmatic focus areas. The review process is thorough and may take several weeks for an initial response and up to two to three months for a full review, with final funding decisions made by the Board.
