Acorn Hill Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Acorn Hill Foundation, based in Pittsburgh, PA, states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send it a cold application.
- Its filing reports $1,795,000 paid out, with grants for scholarships and general operating purposes, but it does not name its recipients or set out its priorities, so it is hard to judge whether your work fits.
- The grant range and geographic focus are not stated, so do not assume a size of request or a limit on where you may work from this profile.
- The most realistic route is a personal or professional connection who can introduce your organisation, and you should wait for an invitation before making a request.
- The filing gives no basis for planning a timetable, so keep your own plans flexible.
Overview
Acorn Hill Foundation is a US private foundation based in Pittsburgh, PA.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filed grant rows report scholarship support and grants for general operating purposes. One scholarship row is listed without a recipient; two other rows are likewise unnamed and described as general operating, with the recipient classification recorded as PC. The filings do not identify the people or organisations receiving these payments, and they contain no statement of the foundation’s broader funding priorities, selection preferences or applicant eligibility. Accordingly, the available record shows those reported grant purposes but does not establish a more specific area of charitable work or kinds of organisations it supports.
How to apply
The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests.
