The Allegheny County Music Festival Fund (ACMFF) helps create meaningful opportunities for children and youth receiving services through Allegheny County Department of Human Services and other eligible programs.

The ACMFF helps ensure that financial circumstances do not prevent eligible children and youth from accessing opportunities and resources that can enrich their lives, by providing tools, items, experiences and opportunities needed to learn, grow, thrive, and develop.

Support the Fund

The ACMFF is primarily supported through generous donations from organizations and individual donors throughout the year. Every contribution helps the ACMFF continue creating opportunities for children and youth in Allegheny County. To support the ACMFF, or to learn more about sponsorship opportunities for upcoming events, email the Donations Team.

Donations can also be mailed to:

Eligibility and Requests

Children and youth may be eligible to receive support from the ACMFF if they are receiving services through Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS), a DHS contracted provider, or Allegheny County Juvenile Probation. The ACMFF generally supports children and youth through age 18; young adults through age 21 may also be eligible if they remain engaged in DHS services.

Social service professionals working through DHS, a DHS-contracted provider, or Allegheny County Juvenile Probation may submit a request on behalf of an eligible child or young adult using the Fund Request Form.
