  • 2016 Annual Report
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT 1 2 TO THE COMMUNITY: In my life’s interest of advancing fitness and well-being, I see every day the benefits of dedicating attention to regular exercise and healthy eating. While the particular outlets vary—running, biking, field and racquet sports, yoga and weightlifting; vegan, vegetarian or omnivore—the goal is the same: to create core strength to enable a person to enjoy life to the fullest and to enhance longevity. Similarly at RAD, the fitness of our regional assets relies on core funding—the type of funds that assets can use at their discretion to sustain day-to-day operations. While their program focus may vary—libraries, parks, sports and civic facilities, arts and culture, and transportation—this core support is vital to their well-being, to creating well-managed, fully operational regional assets that are critically important to our region. While RAD provides substantial funds for capital projects, the hallmark of RAD funding has been operating support—also known as unrestricted funds that can be used for the core functions of the assets, such as staf, rent or mortgages, utilities and program costs. This primary focus on core support, however, means that RAD spends considerable time engaging in a comprehensive review of each applicant, focused on understanding programming, governance, finances, outreach and outcomes. This past year, in fact, we were pleased to enhance the role of our Citizen Advisory Board to provide additional assessment of applicants to enrich our understanding. As you review this report, you will see that core funding support from RAD helps our regional assets not only to maintain, but to upgrade and improve programs and facilities that are the jewels in our community.

    RAD WORKS HERE! 2018 ANNUAL REPORT ALLEGHENY REGIONAL ASSET DISTRICT RAD’S MISSION IS TO SUPPORT AND FINANCE REGIONAL ASSETS IN THE AREAS OF LIBRARIES, PARKS AND RECREATION, SPORTS AND CIVIC FACILITIES, AND ARTS AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS. CONNECTIONS COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS CELEBRATIONS • The Allegheny Regional Asset District receives one-half of the proceeds from the 1% Allegheny County Sales and Use Tax to support the regional assets, and the other half is paid directly to the County and municipal governments. RAD SERVES HERE TO OUR RAD COMMUNITY, The Pittsburgh region continues to receive many accolades for its abundant offerings. We are a top ranked destination to live, work, and play. Our industrial past speaks to our continued appreciation for hard work, humility, and a relentless passion to fulfill our dreams. Our stunning architecture, historic neighborhoods, and beautiful topography create communities that are as diverse as our rolling hills, rivers, and valleys. Today, Allegheny County is home to bountiful green space in the form of parks, trails, and bikeways, renowned colleges and universities, robotics, cutting-edge technology, finance, world-class medicine, and championship sports teams. Our arts and cultural assets are regularly lauded for their creativity and excellence.
