The Grable Foundation’s Grant Program endeavors to improve the lives of children and youth in the greater Pittsburgh region, with attention to kids whose opportunities are limited due to economic circumstances.
Focus Areas
- Early Childhood: Even before they start kindergarten, young children deserve to participate in rich learning experiences in high-quality environments, led by caring and well-trained adults. Parents and caregivers should have access to the support they need to encourage their children’s development.
- Public Schools: From pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, schools should ignite students’ interests, stretch their abilities, and set the path toward a future of possibility. Students, teachers, principals, superintendents, parents, and community members each play a crucial role in this process.
- Out-of-School Time: Children and youth should be able to choose from a variety of high-quality afterschool, summer, and mentoring programs that create vital opportunities for exploration, creativity, learning, and meaningful connections with caring adults.
- Families: Young people and their families should have easy and frequent access to innovative learning and play spaces, community resources that support their well-being, and celebrations and cultural events that delight them — all designed with kids in mind.
- Community: Children, families, and other caring adults should be able to draw upon a vibrant community of strong nonprofit organizations, capable leaders, and robust multimedia resources focused on helping them succeed.
