Local focus

Geographic focus

The McElhattan Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on large, multi-year general support grants to national and university institutions focused on health and safety, public policy research, and regional community services. It prefers funding established organizations—both national (e.g., National Safety Council, George Washington University) and local (United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh)—that can deploy unrestricted dollars for research, program scale-up, or community impact. The foundation’s portfolio emphasizes injury prevention/public safety and higher-education–based research alongside sustained support for local community infrastructure.

Injury prevention and public safety (National Safety Council–type initiatives)
University-based research and higher education support (multi-year general support to GWU and University of Pittsburgh)
Regional community infrastructure and social services funding through United Way of Southwestern PA
