“Being awarded the Awesome Pittsburgh grant meant that I could take my idea for bettering my community and make it a reality. Because of Awesome Pittsburgh, more people have access to resources for growing their own food and flowers and can experience the empowerment which that brings!” ~Lahia A.
“We were just about to launch Joy Riders Pittsburgh last spring when we got the email from Awesome Pittsburgh. It was SO motivating. A thousand dollars? It was like we had won the lottery. It couldn’t have come at a better time.” ~ Dianne S. & Margarita H.
“Awesome Pittsburgh gave us much-needed confidence at an early stage that our idea had merit and was worth pursuing.” ~ Josh C.
