Our Philanthropy

---

WOMEN’s mission is to help less fortunate women and children in  southwestern Pennsylvania. As part of that mission and in addition to  our philanthropic event, money is disbursed from September through June  throughout Western Pennsylvania to help charities with emergency  situations. Should you have a suggestion of a new potential recipient,  please contact the Philanthropic Chair at info@womenofswpa.org.  An Emergency Fund is also available for various emergency requests  during the year.

 With government subsidies to public service organizations shrinking,  it is up to the private sector to do as much as possible to compensate  for funding cuts. We are proud to have disbursed over $1,000,000 in 24 years from proceeds from our fundraisers.  

WOMEN  of Southwestern PA, Inc. accepts grant applications in the spring for funding  requests up to $3,500 from non-profit charitable and community  organizations located in southwestern PA.
To qualify, the organization must:

• Have IRS 501(c)(3) status.
• Only request monies for specific projects that have no federal or state funding.
• Benefit women and children.
  

We will be accepting applications in the spring of 2025.  For more information, E-mail: info@womenofswpa.org
