Forbes Funds

The Forbes Funds were established in 1982 to provide emergency financial assistance to nonprofit organizations that were experiencing funding interruptions or short-term cash flow problems, but shifted over time to focus on nonprofit capacity building.  In 2013, the organization adopted three priority program areas: 1) capacity building; 2) social innovation, and 3) the Greater Pittsburgh Nonprofit Partnership (GPNP), a coalition of over 400 southwestern Pennsylvania nonprofits aiming to provide the sector with a unified voice to promote social change.
