The SteelTree Fund is seeking applications for grants to support innovative programs that strengthen the vibrancy, endurance, and inclusiveness of the Jewish community of Pittsburgh.

Our application process has two stages: an Idea Phase and a Presentation Phase. The SteelTree board is composed of young adult donors from our community who are passionate about making positive change in the Jewish community.
