Sprout was founded on the hunch that there was power in supporting grassroots community change. We're grateful to the more than 1,100 supported projects that proved the point. Most of all, to those who stood up to advocate for change and engage people in civic life.

Even small projects can say something big. We learned that over the years when people came to us with wild ideas. We’re grateful for the creativity and imagination of folks that make our city quirky, scrappy, and authentically Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh has changed a lot since 2001. Some of those changes are more visible (and physical) than others. We're grateful to have fueled hundreds of dedicated people leading efforts to improve the city's built environment while caring for its natural environment.

Public Art is a lasting part of Sprout’s legacy. We're thankful for the opportunities to foster creativity and build community by connecting artists with neighborhoods, commissioning original artwork accessible to everyone, and helping artists make a scene.

Catalyzing community change means much more than distributing grant dollars. When we asked people in Pittsburgh to come together, share ideas, and get involved, you showed up! We’re grateful for everyone who joined us to think big and make things happen together.

In Pittsburgh, it’s about the neighborhoods. Pride in our city manifests in the love we feel for its 446 bridges, 90 neighborhoods, and 3 rivers. Love for Pittsburgh’s places and spaces made Sprout’s work possible, and we’re thankful for the people and organizations we worked with to make our city’s places brighter, greener, more playful, and more inclusive.
