Leadership Changes at Pittsburgh Foundations
April 24, 2006
Several big family foundations in western Pennsylvania, including the Richard King Mellon Foundation and the McCune Foundation, are approaching a new generation of leadership as younger family members prepare for more-active roles at the institutions, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The coming shift in leadership at these foundations is troubling to some observers who worry that as younger family members relocate out of town, less money will be spent on economic development, education, and social services in Pittsburgh.
