Funds shouldn’t be a barrier to making amazing things happen in our community by passionate, creative people.

We support community, environment, and arts-based non-profit organizations and artists in their quest to enrich the environmental and cultural landscape of Pittsburgh.

We want to see incredible things happen with reclaimed materials in our community, and we are so pleased to assist when a project fits our vision. We are only able to sponsor projects that are free and open to the public, and that directly relate to art, environment, or community concerns. For example, we cannot sponsor private events, commissioned artwork or residencies, or events which require a ticket to attend. If you are unsure if your project can be considered, please contact ash@pccr.org.

Please note: Our Project Sponsorship program is for those who really need an extra boost in order to fully realize their project. If you have a budget for materials, we hope that you’ll use those funds first before applying for assistance. It is important to us that we make our materials affordable and accessible through our low prices, Bulk Section, and quantity discounts every day in our shop, and your purchases support our ability to do just that. Additionally, an organization or artist may receive one sponsorship per year.

Interested persons may apply to receive donated or discounted materials by submitting our Project Sponsorship Request form at least three weeks before the materials will be needed. We are unable to accommodate last-minute requests due to the high volume of requests we receive.
