Reid Carpenter Legacy Fund

The Reid Carpenter Legacy Fund honors the leadership of Mr. Reid Carpenter, who was instrumental in founding Communities in Schools of Pennsylvania (CISPA) in 1994.  

As a founder of and an advisor to many organizations, such as CISPA, Mr. Carpenter has made a profound difference in the lives of young people across southwestern Pennsylvania.  

Donations to the legacy fund will continue CISPA’s work that Mr. Carpenter started in communities across southwestern Pennsylvania and support programs for young people he has worked tirelessly to serve. 

Reid Carpenter’s visionary leadership and unwavering dedication have been the cornerstone of Communities in Schools’ success across the country, especially here in Pennsylvania. This fund celebrates his tireless efforts to inspire innovation, foster opportunity, and empower the leaders who continue to carry his legacy forward.
