City gets first payment from nonprofit coalition
Thursday, January 05, 2006

The chairman of a coalition of nonprofit organizations said yesterday that it had wired $4.57 million to the city of Pittsburgh, fulfilling the first part of a three-year pledge.

The Pittsburgh Public Service Fund has promised $13.25 million over three years. The initial contribution is for last year. Payments will be quarterly from here on.

"This is truly a voluntary gift," said the Rev. Ron Lengwin, chairman of the fund and spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.

"A lot of these organizations have tight budgets," he said. "They saw a city that was in crisis and in great need and wanted to help."

The fund released a list of 102 donating organizations, but not the amounts each was donating.
