Dear Colleagues and Friends,

​

Welcome to the Pitcairn-Crabbe Foundation (“PCF”)!  On behalf of the board of directors I would like to thank you for your interest in PCF. Our organization is committed every day to improving the quality of life by utilizing the generous gift provided by Susan Hunt for the specific purposes of religious and church work, for Christian education, for community welfare, and, generally, for the relief of distress and the improvement of the spiritual and material condition of humanity.

​

I am honored to take over leadership from Mark Allston, and can speak for the board on how pleased we are with our partnership with the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies. The board members are an extension of the trustees of the Shadyside Presbyterian Church and are not compensated beyond seeing the amazing and rewarding work that the recipients of PCF grants perform each day. I would like to thank the board for their good, hard work administering PCF.

​

The history of PCF is an amazing one. Starting with a net contribution of $1,542,602.34 in 1939, the endowment fund has grown to $15,187,178 over the past 85 years while managing to fund 1,710 individual grants totaling over $18,667,864. In 2023 the foundation made 32 grants totalling $618,000, which was an increase of 25.6% from 2022.

​

At the center of PCF is our commitment to partner with organizations that lead inspiring programming and educational efforts in our focused areas of investment. As you explore this site, please contact us with questions, motivation, and ideas for engagement in the community.

​

Thank you for your interest in our foundation,

​

Jamie Shafer
