Additional funding is in the pipeline, and the Endowments “is continuing to monitor developments closely and will move quickly to help organizations operating in the front lines of this crisis."
The Heinz Endowments is investing $700,000 in a six-week summer pilot program, with the aim of having a year-round program to train students across Allegheny County by 2022.
It is one of the few programs in the region providing philanthropic support to artists across all disciplines, from costume and set design to music and theater.
