City of Pittsburgh Announces Recipients of 2024 Community Festival Grants

31 local organizations awarded grants to help support neighborhood-focused
festivals across the city

Pittsburgh, PA – Today the Office of Special Events for the City of Pittsburgh announced the 2024 Community Festival Program Grant Awardees. This year more than fifty (50) local non-profit community organizations applied to receive funding with thirty-one (31) of those organizations receiving a Community Festival Grant award.

“Organizations across the city work hard every year to put on events across every neighborhood in our city,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. “These unique events help give each neighborhood their flavor, and I am proud that our City is helping these neighborhood events thrive year after year.”

The Community Festival Grant Program has existed since 1977 and provides funding to help communities launch and develop neighborhood-focused events. These events help bring communities together to foster good-will for their neighbors. This year's grant awards will support or represent over ten new events and neighborhoods.

This year the City provided 31 grants, with each group being reimbursed up to $1,000. The grant is coordinated each year through the CitiParks Office of Special Events.
