PITTSBURGH - A consortium of nonprofit groups has yet to contribute $6 million to the city this year as proposed by a state budget oversight board - and some members are reluctant to pay because they're not sure the city needs the money.
The Pittsburgh Public Service Trust Fund was formed as a vehicle to let nonprofits, whose property and payrolls aren't taxed, contribute money for city services. The nonprofit contributions are a key part of a financial recovery plan developed by the Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority, which was appointed by the Legislature to oversee the city's budget."
