Young women champion Pittsburgh foundation - PittsburghLIVE.com

Young women champion Pittsburgh foundation - PittsburghLIVE.com: "What the Women and Girls Foundation of Southwest Pennsylvania lacks in experience and money, it makes up in moxie.

The 3-year-old foundation recently helped organize a protest of Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirts that forced the $2 billion-a-year clothier to agree within a matter of days to pull the offending gear.

In the world of philanthropy where big money translates into clout, the tiny Women and Girls Foundation has quickly made a name for itself. With the foundation's backing, Pittsburgh City Council on Monday approved an ordinance that promotes the selection of women and ethnic minorities on public boards."
