Snee-Reinhardt Charitable Foundation

Annual Grant Program (May and September Cycles)

Who can apply: Applicants must be nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3), 509(a)(3), or similar tax-exempt status. The organization generally must have been established for at least three to five years; newly formed public charities must exist for five full years, while the FAQ states nonprofit status must have been determined for at least three years. First-time applicants must request funding for tangible items only and may not apply on behalf of an organization that is not tax-exempt or serve as a fiscal sponsor. Programs must generally have been operating for at least two full years. Priority is given to organizations located in or whose activities are concentrated in Pittsburgh and southwestern Pennsylvania, followed by northern West Virginia and northern Maryland. Funding is generally not available for salaries, general operating expenses, individuals, endowments, vehicles, fundraising, matching grants, or general capital improvements without prior written approval.

Deadline: Applications must be received by 4:00 p.m. on April 1 for the May cycle and August 1 for the September cycle; if the deadline falls on a weekend, submissions are due the preceding Friday. The 2027 schedule lists April 1, 2027 for the May cycle and July 30, 2027 for the September cycle because August 1 falls on a weekend.
