WHAT WE DO
MHF takes care of people with the help of others.
MHF is a non-profit, community-based, Pennsylvania corporation that builds an endowment to benefit and provide funding support for health-related charitable entities located in the communities served by UPMC McKeesport. This funding support is derived from special events, grants, donations, annual drives, and other Foundation solicitations. These contributions will help ensure the continued availability and delivery of healthcare services for such communities. This is our mission.
MHF aims at being an enduring cornerstone in the Mon Valley communities, one which the communities can trust to be a source of support and which can assist in the betterment of local resources. This is our vision.
In order to accomplish our mission and realize our vision, MHF works to continually reestablish the support of the community, demonstrating that for every dollar we are given by donors and sponsors, that dollar is given right back to those in the Mon Valley most in need.
HOW WE DO IT
MHF works hand-in-hand with the community and with UPMC McKeesport, providing various programs and funding others' programs and projects. It is only through long-established and ever-growing partnerships that we are able to support the Mon Valley as expansively. By engaging with as many community members as possible, MHF finds opportunities for collaboration, synergy, and growth. This way the needs can be met in a way that is thoughtful, minimizing unnecessary duplication and maximizing beneficial impact of efforts.
We are able to continually provide for some of the most underserved communities through numerous sources of funding, as noted in our mission. Our board of directors makes every financial decision very thoughtfully. The mindset for MHF and our board is always: how can we have the biggest impact with every dollar? We are mindful of making sure that our investment income covers our operations so that every donation received can go back to the communities.
