Who We Are

In 1991, the Women Board of Pittsburgh began as a small group of friends who shared a mutual interest in improving the lives of Pittsburgh's children. This group decided to organize a fundraiser to benefit a local child-centered non-profit. Through the event they raised $1,200 and their resounding success prompted them to continue planning an annual event, with each one benefiting a different deserving organization.  
 
Over the years, the Women's Board of Pittsburgh has continued as an all-volunteer organization donating 98% of what we raise to our beneficiaries. Although much has remained the same, our annual event has vastly grown in scope. 

Our current membership includes more than 70 devoted members from various professional and volunteer backgrounds. Among these women are seven charter members who paved the way. 

Over the past 32 years, we have raised over $1.6 million benefitting over 40 amazing organizations. We are grateful for the tremendous generosity of the sponsors, donors, and event guests who have partnered with us in these efforts. 

At the core, we are still a committed group of dedicated members who love what we do — working as a team to help improve the lives of children. Today we remain an all-volunteer organization with a steadfast passion for supporting children in our communities.
