About Pauline Auberle Foundation
The Pauline Auberle Foundation’s grantmaking centers on one organization: Auberle in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. In the two most recent grants on file, it awarded $636,420 in 2024 and $532,871 in 2023, both labeled "Support Auberle." That pattern points to a funder that backs the agency’s core work rather than spreading its support across a wide mix of external nonprofits. The foundation’s mission is tied to Auberle’s human-services model, including workforce development, housing, young adult services, foster care, and behavioral health. That focus is reinforced by the foundation’s active Community Grants program, which supports mission areas such as workforce development, housing and homelessness prevention, young adult services, foster care, and behavioral & mental health. The beneficiary profile also indicates attention to young adults and transition-age youth, families and caregivers, children in foster care, people experiencing homelessness, unemployed or low-income jobseekers, and residents of Western Pennsylvania. With annual grants of $1,169,291 and assets of $9,128,580, the Pauline Auberle Foundation functions as a local funder with a concentrated service agenda. The leadership listed is John P. Lydon.
What Pauline Auberle Foundation Funds
The Pauline Auberle Foundation supports a tightly defined set of human-services priorities. In workforce development, its Community Grants program backs programs aligned with employment and job placement, matching the foundation’s mission to support unemployed and low-income jobseekers. Housing is another core area, with funding tied to housing stability and homelessness prevention. The grant program also covers young adult services, including transition support for ages 18–25, and foster care services with permanency support for children in care. Behavioral health is part of the same funding framework, listed in the program as behavioral and mental health. The foundation’s family-centered orientation appears in its support for family support services as well as caregivers, showing that its grantmaking is built around linked service needs rather than a single issue area.
How Pauline Auberle Foundation Gives
The Pauline Auberle Foundation’s typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $558,758, median is $584,646, and p75 is $610,533.

Its Community Grants program does not accept unsolicited applications.
