The John J Ghaznavi Foundation concentrates modest, local giving in the Pittsburgh area, favoring higher-education institutions and nearby community service groups. Grants are often unrestricted (“as donee sees fit”) and include support for a Catholic ministry and a local crisis/intervention organization, suggesting priorities of civic education, faith-based community work, and frontline social services.
Small number of moderate-sized grants concentrated locally, with repeat funding to a few core grantees and a preference for flexible, unrestricted support.
