Monroeville, PA, December 17, 2025 – State Senator Nick Pisciottano (D-Allegheny) announced $11,420,571 in Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) awards for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, bringing support to organizations and projects serving communities in Allegheny County.
NAP is a statewide tax credit initiative administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to encourage private investment in community-focused nonprofit projects serving distressed areas or advancing neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing, job training, education, food security, crime prevention, and other vital community services. Businesses that contribute to approved projects can receive valuable state tax credits, strengthening partnerships between the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address local needs.
“This year’s NAP awards will make a difference in neighborhoods across Allegheny County,” said Senator Pisciottano. “These projects represent solutions to long-standing challenges, from food security to job training and community development. I’m happy to see state resources supporting grassroots efforts to improve quality of life for our residents.”
The awards reflect DCED’s ongoing commitment to fostering thriving, resilient communities across the Commonwealth and highlight the vital work of nonprofit organizations partnering with local business contributors.
Examples of Impact Areas Supported by NAP:
- Affordable Housing & Neighborhood Revitalization
- Food Security & Charitable Food Programs
- Education & Job Training Programs
- Community Services & Crime Prevention Initiatives
A full list of NAP awards across the Commonwealth is available here.
Nonprofit organizations, working in partnership with private businesses, will use these NAP awards to finance projects that deliver services to residents, stabilize neighborhoods, and strengthen community infrastructure. By pairing private investment with state tax credits, these programs can reach more people and deliver measurable benefits at the local level.
Among the awards, $1,254,490 was approved for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to support farm and retail donation incentives, increasing access to fresh, nutritious food for families while helping participating Pennsylvania businesses manage rising costs through state tax credits.
Senator Pisciottano encourages local nonprofits and businesses interested in community development to explore NAP and other state programs that support local projects and partnerships.
