About Mckeesport Hospital Foundation
Mckeesport Hospital Foundation’s defining grantmaking centers on UPMC Mckeesport Hospital, which received $1,531,279 in 2024 and $104,314 in 2023 for program support. That scale frames the foundation’s role as a local health funder tied to the Mon Valley region, with gifts aimed at keeping healthcare services available in the communities served by UPMC Mckeesport. Beyond the hospital, the foundation backs organizations that support patient care, health access, and community wellbeing in nearby towns such as McKeesport, Homestead, Duquesne, and Elizabeth. Its recent grants also show support for practical community needs. Rainbow Kitchen Community Service in Homestead received $25,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for program support, while Mckeesport Ambulance Authority received $21,000 in 2024 for program support. Other grants reached Meals on Wheels providers, fire departments, and a recovery-home program, indicating a mix of healthcare-adjacent services, emergency response, and local support organizations. The foundation’s pattern is strongly place-based, with nearly all grants staying in Pennsylvania.
