A Message from New Executive Director, Michelle Figlar

During the first 100 days as the Executive Director of The Birmingham Foundation, I spent time in our neighborhoods. I have listened to and learned from grantees, families, and community partners. I look forward to supporting you in developing, implementing, and advancing efforts to help young children, prenatal to age 8, and their families in South Pittsburgh thrive. The Birmingham Foundation is committed to your success by offering resources such as grant making, information-sharing, partnering, and the leveraging of assets.

On March 6th, we will open our grant cycle to receive Letters of Interest (LOI) from nonprofit organizations serving South Pittsburgh.

Along with our Board of Directors, we are excited to launch this new process, and we look forward to hearing your ideas.

Thank you for welcoming me back to South Pittsburgh. It is an honor to serve the Birmingham Foundation and all of you.

Warmly,

Michelle
