Jewish Healthcare Foundation Grants

The Jewish Healthcare Foundation (JHF) awards grants to help improve health outcomes for residents of the Pittsburgh region and for efforts to improve healthcare quality, cost, and efficiency.

  • Programs without a healthcare component
  • General operations
  • Endowment programs
  • Capital needs
  • Operating deficits or retirement of debt
  • Political campaigns
  • Scholarships, fellowships, individual research grants, individual travel
