Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation

The Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation (PLF) is a faith-based, not-for-profit organization that was founded over forty years ago out of love for the city of Pittsburgh. PLF is honored to be a founding member of Leadership Foundations, Inc., a worldwide group of organizations developing leaders to “drive the wheel of change in their cities."
