In March 2017, Allegheny Financial Group announced the recipients of its third annual Good Neighbor Awards. The eight award recipients included Avalon Public Library, Girls on the Run programs at Avalon and Bellevue Elementary Schools, HEARTH, North Hills Art Center, North Boroughs YMCA, North Hills Food Bank, Northgate School District, and North Hills Community Outreach. The awards provide funding for specific projects at each organization as well as general operating expenses.

James J. Browne, CFP®, co-founder and partner at Allegheny Financial Group stated, “We are honored to be surrounded by organizations that have such a strong impact on the North Hills community, and we want to help support their efforts.”

In November 2015, Allegheny Financial Group announced a donation for the purchase of three Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs for Pittsburgh-area veterans who are suffering from disabilities such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury. A check was presented by Allegheny Financial Group partners at the 17th Annual Veterans Day Breakfast held at Duquesne University.

The Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania has launched a campaign with the goal to raise funds for the purchase of 22 Service Dogs over a period of 22 months through a partnership with Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs Inc. of Williston, FL. The purchase and training of one life-changing certified service dog is $22,000. A matching grant pledged by the Pittsburgh Foundation will cover funding needed for additional service dogs.

James D. Hohman, CFP®, co-founder and partner of Allegheny Financial Group, stated, “We are honored to have the opportunity to help the brave warriors who are struggling with their permanent injuries. We are grateful for their sacrifices to allow us to have our freedom in this nation.”

In January 2015, Allegheny announced our first annual Good Neighbor Awards presented to four neighboring North Hills organizations. Award recipients included HEARTH, North Hills Food Bank, Northgate School District, and the YMCA – North Boroughs Community Center. The awards went toward funding specific projects at each organization.

James J. Browne, CFP®, co-founder and partner of Allegheny Financial Group stated, “We recognize the immense needs of our local communities, and are happy that Allegheny can do a small part to help.”

Since 2004, Allegheny Financial Group has been a proud supporter of The Pittsburgh Foundation, and its mission to improve the quality of life in the Pittsburgh region by evaluating and addressing community issues, promoting responsible philanthropy, and connecting donors to the critical needs of the community.

In January 2016, Allegheny Financial Group announced our second annual Good Neighbor Awards presented to five neighboring North Hills organizations. Award recipients included HEARTH, North Hills Food Bank, Northgate School District, North Hills Art Center, and North Hills Community Outreach. The awards will fund specific projects at each organization as well as general operating expenses.

James J. Browne, CFP®, co-founder and partner of Allegheny Financial Group states, “We are delighted to support our community organizations and hope that what we do helps to raise awareness of the great work they are doing.”

Every December, Allegheny Financial Group employees collect food, household items, and monetary donations for an annual food drive benefiting North Hills Food Bank.

Allegheny Financial Group is proud to support HEARTH’S mission to provide a range of supportive services and housing that empowers families who are survivors of domestic violence to become independent, self-sufficient and adequately housed, to break the cycle of homelessness. In July 2015, Allegheny was recognized at HEARTH’s 20th Anniversary/Dreammaker Recognition event at the Mayernik Center.
