Women of Pittsburgh 2000 was organized to develop Christian love and harmony through understanding individuals, culture, and community. Our goal is to help break down racial barriers. Small interracial Sister Groups representing racially diverse church partnerships are formed to meet monthly. Three black and three white women make up the six women in each Sister Group, and meet monthly. Our focus is on praying together, conducting honest dialogue focused on racial harmony, and sharing experiences at each other's churches. We also attend family events, have meals, and enjoy recreation together. Women of Pittsburgh 2000 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, supported by fundraising through churches, individuals, and proceeds from the Ebony and Ivory Ball. In 2004, we continue our goal to build racial harmony through one on one relationships. With member input and following many hours of discussion, we decided to keep our name as Women of Pittsburgh 2000. We recognized that there is already name recognition and that, while 2000 originally meant the year 2000, we are living in the century of the 2000s and will identify with that for many years to come.
