ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
The Pittsburgh Club Managers Foundation (PCMF) was formed in May 2017 as a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization committed to sustaining and developing the private club industry in Western Pennsylvania. By financially supporting educational opportunities for members in the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Club Management Association of America (CMAA), the PCMF seeks to meet increasing demands for quality professional development for all levels of management, as well as support the needs of students focused on careers in private clubs.
WHY WE DO IT
 Students: We support hospitality students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Robert Morris University to achieve their educational and career goals. The PCMF offers student scholarships and provides funding for IUP and RMU CMAA Student Chapter activities. Early professional development and networking is critical to ensuring students are prepared for and committed to management positions in private clubs.
 Managers: Executive-level managers require robust professional development programs for certifications and to remain successful in leading today’s private clubs as CEOs/COOs. Additionally, many clubs are not able to appropriately support the development needs of mid-level managers. The PCMF offers certification training scholarships and funds all professional development seminars and conferences for the Pittsburgh Chapter of CMAA. This ensures top talent is developed and sustained in Western PA.
 Community: Western PA’s private clubs support thousands of jobs and have an economic footprint of approximately $200 million per year. Indirectly, they remain at the epicenter of much of the region’s non-profit fundraising efforts and business-leader networking. We believe that investing in the development of private club leaders benefits each club’s members, staff, vendors, and our community as a whole. The PCMF also seeks to support charitable organizations focused on the betterment of our communities or that concentrate on adult professional development and vocational training.
HOW WE DO IT
Funding the PCMF is accomplished via Special Fundraising Events, The Foundation Club, and a Corporate Sponsor Program. The Corporate Sponsor Program is the Foundation's primary fundraising initiative, offering exclusive partnerships for businesses that value engagement and are committed to supporting our mission. This brochure showcases this unique and exclusive program. If you prefer a more “a la carte” approach, we do also offer other opportunities to get involved, show your support, and promote your business.
