On Tuesday, Aug. 1, The Pittsburgh Foundation will host a Critical Needs Alert online giving event to support basic needs and essential human services in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties.

This year’s Critical Needs Alert will take place online at www.pittsburghgives.org on from 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. You can search for the Private Industry Council to make your donation. Every little bit helps!

The Critical Needs Alert benefits nonprofits providing direct service in five areas that strengthen the safety net of essential human services:

  • Child care– Programs providing child care for infants and children up to age 6. (Those that provide only before- or after-school programming do not qualify.)
  • Employment– Organizations providing employment-related services such as job readiness, job placement or job retention programs; training or education explicitly related to employment; and support services such as transportation, tools or clothing to enable individuals to work.
  • Eviction prevention and housing– Organizations that provide direct shelter to individuals and families in crisis. Also includes organizations that provide financial assistance, landlord-tenant mediation and other related services that assist individuals and families to stay safely in their homes.
  • Food and nutrition– Organizations such as food pantries, food banks and soup kitchens provide food to those who don’t have the ability to meet daily needs.
  • Physical and mental health– Organizations providing clinical physical and mental health care. This includes supplies and staffing.

The Pittsburgh Foundation and its donors provide $500,000 in incentive funds benefiting Allegheny County nonprofits.

The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County is providing $50,000 in incentive funds for Westmoreland County organizations.

We hope you will join us in supporting The Private Industry Council in its mission of doing the important work of helping our neighbors to thrive.
