Mon Valley Clean Air Fund Footprint In 2024, the Allegheny County Health Department enlisted the Jefferson Regional Foundation to distribute U.S. Steel settlement funds resulting from an incident in 2018 that negatively impacted the air quality of 22 communities in the lower Mon Valley of Allegheny County. Sixteen of those affected communities are included within the JRF Service Area. Those 16 municipalities and the six additional impacted communities comprise the geographic area of the Mon Valley Clean Air Fund which governs grant eligibility for work in that footprint (see list of MVCAF municipalities, zip codes and school districts). View a list of MVCAF municipalities, zip codes, and school districts. All aspects of JRF’s work (grantmaking, community engagement, and community-driven research) are reflected both in the Jefferson Regional Foundation Service Area and the Mon Valley Clean Air Fund Footprint; however, eligibility for grants is dictated by location and program focus.
