Union Project

The Union Project, located in Pittsburgh, PA and founded in 2001 by a group of young Pittsburghers, is a rapidly growing non-profit organization located at the literal intersection of two of Pittsburgh's most diverse and historic neighborhoods -- East Liberty and Highland Park. The Union Project has acted as a national example of creative and innovative community revitalization. By creating an innovative organizational model that both contributes to the growth of community wealth and emphasizes the importance of diversity in the workplace and the community, the Union Project has given people of faith, idealism, creativity, and family a place to connect, create, and celebrate.

With the help of a $150,000 low interest loan, the Union Project's founding members bought an ailing church on the corner of Stanton Ave and N. Negley Ave. Built in 1903, the church had been home to a number of congregations until it was abandoned in the mid-1990s. Purchased for $125,000, the building was dramatically restored through a $1.6 million capital campaign. Funds were raised through a process of grassroots organizing, public grants, and private contributions. The six founding members, Jessica King, Chad Martin, Heather Kropf, Justin Rothshank, John and Milonica Stahl-Wert, asked friends, family, and former colleagues to contribute to the capital campaign.

Throughout the Rust Belt and other formerly industrial cities and towns, decreased economic prosperity has led to the neglect of many neighborhoods, particularly those that are home to lower-income families. But the Union Project has set our to reverse this trend by not only creating wealth in the East End, but also by promoting the vibrant and growing arts and culture scenes in the Pittsburgh region. By creating a place for artists to create and share their work, inviting performers to exhibit their talents, welcoming families and friends to share intimate moments in rental space, and creating a workplace that invites strangers to discover what they have in common, the Union Project displays the best aspect of its city in a way that begs to be mirrored elsewhere.

From the method by which staff is found (mostly through word-of-mouth recommendations), to the unique style of social entrpreneurship that characterizes the Union Project's operational system, this organization stands apart from other nonprofits. It also serves as a model for once-vibrant communities that are in need of revitalization.

The Union Project is run by a small full-time staff and a board of directors. The staff includes an executive director, an associate director, a facilities manager, a community outreach and events coordinator, a cafe manager, a rental assistant, and a bookkeeper. The Union Project also hosts a number of part-time interns pursuing education from the high school to the graduate school level. Of the Union Project's 19 staff members, 15 live within walking distance of the building. The physical proximity of staff's homes promotes a sense of community on the staff. Additionally, it exemplifies the deep commitment that the staff have to the Union Project's cause.

Currently, the Union Project, which takes its name from one of its previous occupants -- the Union Baptist Church -- houses offices for several nonprofit organizations and four social enterprises.
