CHARITY NAVIGATOR AWARDS PROJECT FOUR STARS (AGAIN!)
For the fourth time, The Pittsburgh Project received a 4-star rating, the highest rating possible, from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent evaluator of charities. This rating from an independent source indicates that The Project excels in allocating and growing its finances in the most fiscally responsible way possible, "outperforming most other charities in America."  Additionally, The Project’s fundraising and financial practices are evaluated by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability via a rigorous evaluation process, and have received its “member in good standing” status every year since 1993.

ELIZABETH ROSEMEYER NAMED NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
We're delighted to announce that Elizabeth Rosemeyer has been selected as The Pittsburgh Project's new Executive Director, becoming only the second Executive Director in the organization’s 24-year history.  "Elizabeth’s broad experiences working with young people, pursuing social justice and leading teams have prepared her well for this important role,” said Roger A. Oxendale, Board President of The Pittsburgh Project, as well as CEO of Children’s Hospital and President of the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation. “  She thinks strategically and is a gifted leader.  She readily engages staff and invests wholeheartedly in the lives of all those we serve.”   Rosemeyer will take over from founding Executive Director Saleem Ghubril, who recently took a new position with The Pittsburgh Promise.

Rosemeyer has served as The Pittsburgh Project’s Associate Executive Director since January 2008 and previously held the position of Development Manager. She is an attorney whose prior experiences include teaching in Belize, peacemaking efforts in the Gaza Strip, and an internship at The Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta, Georgia.  It was her work providing legal assistance as staff attorney for Southern Echo, Inc., in Mississippi that compelled her to focus on “what kids need to succeed and thrive,” especially when family and educational systems pose obstacles. “Young people need to be outfitted with skills and hope, knowledge and faith, for them to become agents of change in their neighborhoods,” said Rosemeyer. “We are seeing this happen at The Pittsburgh Project, I am delighted to be part of it.”

Rosemeyer earned a B.A. from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, and holds a J.D. from the Washington College of Law at American University.  She lives on Pittsburgh’s North Side with her husband and son.
