Heinz oversees many foundations for women, the environment, children and the arts. The Heinz Endowments, based in Pittsburgh, is among the largest independent philanthropic organizations in America. The foundation approved more than $70 million in grants to non-profit organizations, mostly concentrated within southwestern Pennsylvania, in the program areas of Arts & Culture; Children, Youth and Families; Economic Opportunity; Education; and the Environment.
