How long has the Buhl Foundation been in existence?
Upon his death, as a memorial to “my beloved wife, Louise C. Buhl,” Henry Buhl, Jr. created the Buhl Foundation to which he gave the remainder of his estate after bequests to his relatives, friends and a number of charitable organizations. The Buhl Foundation officially began operations on June 1, 1928. As the first multi-purpose foundation in Pittsburgh, the Buhl Foundation was endowed with $11 million, which made it then one of the ten largest of such foundations in the country.
