The grants were made in the first half of 2019 to organizations in Pittsburgh; Sylmar, California; Cleveland; and other cities where PPG has a local presence. In the first half of 2019, the foundation awarded grants to organizations that specialize in advancing STEM education and work readiness programs, as well as those that meet critical needs, foster economic development and support disaster relief efforts within local communities. To support the growing need for youth development in western Pennsylvania, the PPG Foundation provided a grant to Junior Achievement (JA) of Western Pennsylvania. Based near PPG's headquarters, JA of Western Pennsylvania's kindergarten through 12th-grade programs foster workforce development, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, while using experiential learning to inspire students in the local community to dream big and reach their potential.
