Conferences and Meetings

PPGC's mission is education based. Our meetings, annual conference and virtual conferences form the basis of our member benefits.

Meetings are held every other month in The Koppers Building Conference Center located on the 9th Floor of the Koppers Building at 436 Seventh Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh. A different program is presented at each meeting and often features nationally known speakers on topics of interest to our members. Members are notified of upcoming meeting programs via email and listings on this site. Presently, lunch is included in membership dues and a $35 fee is charged to non-member guests.

PPGC is a CFRE International Continuing Education Approved Provider for Council Meetings and all sessions of the Emerging Philanthropy Conference.
