Annual Report

Annual Report by the President

July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 | Download (.pdf)

The current worldwide financial crisis - unprecedented since at least World War II - has taken its toll on national wealth.  There has been little safe harbor.  Foundation endowments, which have experienced years of double-digit appreciation have been severely impacted.  Tax revenues are dramatically down and Pennsylvania and most states are in budgetary crisis.  And the nonprofit world - while facing the double-edge sword of reduced foundation resources and governmental funding - has seen dramatic growth in the demand for services as the unemployment rates continue to escalate.

Did you know?

The Buhl Foundation is endowed with proceeds from a turn-of-the-century department store business, Boggs & Buhl. Henry Buhl, Jr. and his partner, Russell Boggs, borrowed money to open the first store on the North Side of Pittsburgh in 1869. The partners marketed to the "carriage trade" and that first location grew into a wonderfully successful department store enterprise.
