Catapult Greater Pittsburgh Inc

Catapult Greater Pittsburgh engages in emergency resource distribution, peer-to-peer support, wealth building, trauma-informed financial counseling, and policy advocacy to ensure systematically disenfranchised communities can meaningfully achieve economic justice and lead dignified and equitable lives. 

Catapult Greater Pittsburgh strives to see program participants attain economic justice. Catapult takes a unique trauma-informed approach to financial education, understanding that exposure to poverty and systemic racism has a significant impact on one’s outcomes and decision making. Catapult’s goal is to build the bandwidth to heal from generational trauma while simultaneously improving economic stability and security at the individual and community levels. As part of these efforts, Catapult is engaged in an ongoing, robust evaluation of its programming effectiveness to lay a foundation for long-term sustainability.
