About this foundation

Opportunity Fund is a Pittsburgh-based grantmaker that supports performing and visual arts and social & economic justice work, with a particular emphasis on racial justice and projects benefiting Greater Pittsburgh. Established to continue the work of Gerri Kay, the foundation funds both project-based and operational support and accepts applications in two annual cycles. It operates a two-step process (Initial Application, then Full Application by invitation) through an online grant system and provides applicant support and FAQs on its site. The foundation prioritizes small- and mid-size arts organizations and offers fiscal-sponsorship options for groups without 501(c)(3) status.

Opportunity Fund awards grants to small to midsize arts organizations, and to organizations and initiatives that advance social and economic justice.
