Our Commitment to Equity
Our Commitment to Equity
We center our work and investments to foster a more just, fair, and inclusive society in which all can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. We emphasize the importance of racial equity—the condition achieved when one’s identity no longer statistically predicts how one fares. Racial equity is a part of racial justice and thus we work to address root causes of inequities and not just their manifestations.

Stories of Impact
Over the next ten years, we will expand our resources to Accelerate, Scale, and Sustain the work of our community partners to create healthy neighborhoods of opportunity and move 100,000 low-income Pittsburghers up the socio-economic ladder. When we think about challenges, it’s not the lack of resources, it’s the ‘opportunity gap.’ Neighborhood Allies is in the business of creating opportunity.
