A Commitment to Healing.

Continuing the Del Cotto family tradition by funding organizations that care for the whole person and strengthen our local communities.
The  Del Cotto Family Foundation  exists to carry forward a legacy of generosity, gratitude, and meaningful support. Rooted in the Pittsburgh region, we support nonprofit partners who care for the whole person—not just a diagnosis, a discharge date, or a demographic.

Our Mission

To support nonprofits in the Greater Pittsburgh area that provide holistic, compassionate care to people living with cancer, honor and assist veterans and their families, and increase awareness of Acanthamoeba Keratitis with a focus on healing, dignity and community

Our Values

Compassion

We stand with people and families at vulnerable moments in life. Over time, we hope to grow our giving in these focus areas, while maintaining a personal, relational, approach with our partners.

Holistic Care

We believe healing is emotional, social, physical, and spiritual, and that true support sees the whole person, not just a diagnosis or a discharge summary

We invest close to home, with a focus on the Greater Pittsburgh area, where we can see and feel the impact of our giving and relationships.
