Anne Lynch - Executive Director

Anne Lynch started out as the Office Manager for Three Rivers Community Foundation in September, 2001, after graduating summa cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a BA in Anthropology (with a History minor). She has helped TRCF become a true force in the activist communities in Southwestern Pennsylvania. In 2019, she became the Executive Director. Having moved here from Slidell, Louisiana, in 1997, she’s adopted Pittsburgh as her home. In addition to her work at TRCF, she ran her own catering business (The Vegan Goddess), and was the co-founder of the Three Rivers Vegan Society. She was previously the Local Coordinator of Greater Pittsburgh Pagan Pride Day. She is unapologetic about her beliefs in equality for all – including non-human animals. She has served on the boards of several local animal rights organizations, helped to organize dozens of animal rights and environmental events, and has spoken about animal rights at local high schools, colleges and universities, and even at a conference at American University in Washington, DC. In her not-so-spare time, she enjoys reading (primarily nonfiction) and cooking.  She has two cookbooks out, both available on Amazon.
