About Child Health Association of Sewickley
Child Health Association of Sewickley Inc directs its annual grants toward nonprofit programs that support children’s emotional, physical, educational, cultural, and recreational needs in Western Pennsylvania. That child-centered mandate shows up in flexible general support awards rather than narrow project grants, with recent giving reaching community organizations, libraries, youth centers, and service providers serving children and families.
The largest recent grant listed is $30,000 to Sewickley Public Library for general support, followed by $25,000 to Fern Hollow Nature Center, also for general support. Other 2025 grants include $15,000 to The Shepherd's Door and $15,000 to Center for Hope. The pattern suggests a funder that backs a mix of neighborhood anchors and direct-service nonprofits, while keeping the same broad mission across emotional well-being, physical health, education, cultural enrichment, and recreation.
Its grant program is annual, accepts unsolicited submissions, and is built around support for nonprofit organizations in Western Pennsylvania. The recent grants list includes organizations in Sewickley, Pittsburgh, Ambridge, Aliquippa, Midland, Coraopolis, McKeesport, Bellevue, and Chicago, showing a strong local emphasis with occasional out-of-area support.
