Envisioning Pittsburgh's nonprofit sector as innovative, informed, and engaged, The Forbes Funds advances capacity-building within and among the region’s nonprofit organizations.

We serve Allegheny County, PA through three interrelated funds:

As we pursue our vision, we endeavor to respect our values and operating philosophy:

• To engage in activities in which we have distinctive competencies and to seek other organizational partners whenever appropriate;
• To promote continuous learning and capacity-building in the organizations we serve and to discourage long-term dependence on outside technical assistance;
• To evaluate our own activities so that we improve the quality and relevance of our portfolio of programs and services;
• To be mindful that efficient management is not an end in itself but rather a means to a better accomplishment of the social and charitable missions of the organizations we serve; and
• To adhere to the highest standards of professional ethics and accountability in all that we do.
