Community-advised grantmaking is part of Sprout’s DNA. We couldn’t have done it without the volunteers who served on our decision making committees and juries over the years. Thank you for bringing your critical eye and belief in the power of ideas. #SproutSunset

Sprout was a force for change in Pittsburgh, and all change is driven by people. We are truly grateful to have worked with some extraordinary people on this journey. Thank you (yes, you!) for being a part of Sprout’s work—we couldn’t have done it without you. #SproutSunset

To all the individual donors large and small who supported our work, and to those of you who dug deep to make it happen, thank you for making that personal commitment to our work. #SproutSunset

We’re humbled and heartened by the response to @100DaysOfUs. From the more than 150 ideas submitted, to the more than $130K raised in donations, to the impact the 27 supported projects continue to have, thank you for linking arms with us in that moment. #SproutSunset

Sprout was founded on the hunch that there was power in supporting grassroots community change. We're grateful to the more than 1,100 supported projects that proved the point. Most of all, to those who stood up to advocate for change and engage people in civic life. #SproutSunset

Inclusivity was one of Sprout’s guiding beliefs. We’re thankful for each and every opportunity we had to support people who put these beliefs into action and have made diversity and inclusion more central to Pittsburgh’s story and its future. #SproutSunset
