Created by Pittsburgh attorney John P. Gismondi and his wife Lisa, The Gismondi Foundation provides grants to non-profit organizations that help those in need in the Pittsburgh region, especially those whose mission is to address the basic necessities in life: 

• food,
• housing,
• education,
• medical care,
• and family support.

The Gismondi Foundation’s philosophy on the subject of philanthropy is best summed up in remarks that John Gismondi made in 2019 when the Foundation was presented with an award for public service by the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh at its annual Bishop’s Gala. In accepting the award, he spoke directly about his sense of obligation to help those in need. Click here to hear his remarks in this brief video.
