Nowhere is that more evident than in Pittsburgh.

Today we face the challenge of changing the course of our city and region, by strengthening our public school system.The Pittsburgh Promise is a means to that end –– an opportunity to transform our region's future by giving our children and schools new hope, while providing businesses with important reasons to stay or relocate here.

This visionary program sends a signal to the region that we as a community believe in this place we call Pittsburgh. It is a way to ensure economic and social stability, discourage population loss, attract families back to the city, and produce the qualified workers that businesses need in order to grow and prosper here.

The destiny of our region is at stake. The success of this program depends on the efforts of everyone, from the largest foundations and corporations, to the small companies who do business here, to the individuals and families who benefit from the scholarship program.

Please join the organizations, employers and individual donors who have already pledged their support to make this community–wide campaign so successful.

Make your promise today so we can keep ours.
