The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation announced a new $2 million grant initiative in honor of the 10-year anniversary of its Sports Matter Program. The year-long initiative is funded by DICK’S giveback program, in which 1% of all sales go directly to the program.
To kick off the initiative, 10 Pittsburgh-based organizations received $10,000 grants during the DICK’S House of Sport grand opening at Ross Park Mall on April 5. The following organizations received grants:
- 412 Elite

- Duquesne City School District
- Girls on the Run of UPMC Magee
- McKeesport Area School District

Since 2014, DICK’S has committed over $100 million to support young athletes with equipment, registration fees, league costs and playing fields through its Sports Matter Program.
Additional grants will be awarded to youth sports organizations throughout the year.
