Bartko Foundation Honored with YW Equity Ally Award and AFP-WPC Philanthropy Day Award

The Bartko Foundation is proud to announce that we have been recognized with two significant awards celebrating our commitment to advancing equity, empowering women, and supporting families in our community.

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh – Equity Ally Award

We are deeply honored to receive the YW Equity Ally Award, presented to organizations that demonstrate exceptional dedication to promoting racial equity, gender justice, and meaningful systems change. This award reflects our ongoing work to expand opportunities for women—especially single mothers—through barrier-lifting financial assistance and supportive programming. We are grateful for this recognition and inspired to continue championing equity alongside the YWCA and its partners.

Association of Fundraising Professionals of Western PA – National Philanthropy Day Award

We are equally proud to be selected for the Association of Fundraising Professionals – Western PA Chapter Philanthropy Day Award, which recognizes organizations making a lasting philanthropic impact in Western Pennsylvania. This acknowledgment celebrates the generosity of our supporters, the vision of our founders, and the resilience of the women we serve. Together, we are building pathways to stability, independence, and long-term success.

A Community Effort

These honors belong not only to the Bartko Foundation, but to every donor, volunteer, partner, and advocate who believes in our mission. Thank you for helping us create a stronger, more equitable future for women and families across the region.
