Promises Made, Promises Kept, and a Promising Future

The Pittsburgh Promise rose rapidly from a grassroots nonprofit to a major influence for kids and seniors. Bringing together foundations, corporations, government and some celebrity power, they have given nearly 12,000 scholarships worth $174 million to local public school graduates attending 151 institutions of higher learning. Hear the formative lessons that shape The Pittsburgh Promise today and are reshaping its future—without scholarships. The presenters will demonstrate the relevance of local voices to the hard and critical work of fundraising and social change.
