About Women and Girls Foundation of Southwest Pennsylvania

The Women and Girls Foundation of Southwest Pennsylvania is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing gender equity through comprehensive statewide programming and strategic policy work. Based in Pittsburgh, PA, the organization implements targeted initiatives designed to develop female leaders and advance women's rights across Pennsylvania. The Foundation's work is grounded in breaking down systemic barriers that prevent women and girls from achieving their full potential in all aspects of their public and private lives. Their approach integrates five core values that guide every program and initiative: recognizing that thriving women and girls strengthen entire communities, pursuing equity without discrimination based on nationality, economic status, class, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or marital status, driving statewide solutions to gender inequity, empowering both girls and women as central to their mission, and engaging men as vital allies and champions for change. The organization focuses on developing tomorrow's female leaders while simultaneously addressing contemporary women's rights challenges. Through their comprehensive framework, the Women and Girls Foundation serves Pittsburgh and beyond, working to ensure that women and girls have equal access, opportunity, and influence in all dimensions of their lives. Their mission-driven approach combines direct program delivery with advocacy work to create lasting systemic change throughout Pennsylvania.
