The Pittsburgh Foundation

"America’s tradition of philanthropy is needed more than ever. Giving must increase, especially given stock-market gains, and generosity must be coupled with effectiveness to balance emergency short-term assistance, like emergency cash, with longer-term support for advocacy and community organizing, and mobilizing action to reshape government funding. Were this a flood or earthquake, emergency mobilization of giving resources would take weeks or months. Covid-19 forces our clocks and calendars to cover at least two or three years. Giving more, and smarter, is essential. This challenge can and must be met." - Barron's https://www.barrons.com//charitable-giving-critical-to-pan
