Mission
PPND supports the revitalization of the Pittsburgh region's distressed neighborhoods into desirable and diverse communities by raising funds and making strategic investments in community development/improvement organizations. 

Vision
Through PPND's strategic investments, urban neighborhoods and their real estate markets will grow and thrive while maintaining diversity and affordability.  The region's community revitalization practices will improve so that each dollar invested is maximized to produce a substantial impact.  Urban neighborhoods will support the aspirations of residents and businesses. 

PPND will lead the community development field to maximum effectiveness and will lead community-level strategies as part of a regional agenda. PPND will provide an "insurance policy" for investors with accountability and quality standards.  At the same time, PPND will invest in the most creative and innovative interventions to make a difference in vulnerable communities.  Residents and businesses alike will experience an improved quality of life in our urban communities because of our work.
