ABOUT PittsburghGives
The Pittsburgh Foundation’s PittsburghGives Initiative is a cutting-edge web-based system that collects and publishes comprehensive management, programmatic and financial information to compile a “portrait” of Pittsburgh’s non-profit agencies. The system was adapted from a project of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation called DonorEdge. Additional cities that have launched similar efforts are Columbus, Ohio; Harrisburg, PA; Houston, Texas; San Diego, California and Nashville, Tennessee.
The online resource will officially launch in early September 2009 and will serve as a showcase of Pittsburgh's nonprofit organizations. Donors, volunteers, and community members alike will be granted access to "portraits" (information portals) of Western Pennsylvania's nonprofit organizations. Not only will supporters gain a greater understanding of a non-profit agency’s mission, vision, and programs, but donors will also benefit from the option to make their contributions online through the agency’s PittsburghGives portrait. The PSFP portrait can be found under Albert Schweitzer Fellowship, Inc. - Pittsburgh Schweitzer Fellows Program.
The goal of PittsburghGives to help donors be better informed. Each portrait contains vital facts and financial information about non-profit organizations in southwest PA. PittsburghGives creates awareness for our organization and helps develop relationships with potential donors.
The Pittsburgh Schweitzer Fellows Program is proud that we are included in the launching of PittsburghGives through its Matching Day, Wednesday, October 28, 2009.
