Welcome Home

Bellevue, Pennsylvania

Bona Fide Bellevue stands with those in our community and around the world who are peacefully protesting racial injustice, including those who are reaffirming that Black Lives Matter. We are taking this opportunity to rededicate ourselves to listening to minoritized members of our borough. We strive to create genuine dialogue around the ideas of race and representation, and to take meaningful actions to better reflect the needs of all our citizens.

Who We Are:

Our mission is to celebrate Bellevue’s unique community and welcome others to join us as we cultivate a more vibrant place to live, worship and shop.

On behalf of our group of engaged citizens invested in the growth, diversity, and beauty of our borough, we invite you to live, worship, and shop in Bona Fide Bellevue.

Building a Better Bellevue Since 2008

In 2008, a group of enthusiastic citizens met to envision how they could reinvigorate Bellevue and make it one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. Together, the community and Bona Fide Bellevue have experienced many successes over the past years. We look forward to even more in the bright future. We encourage you, our neighbor, to become involved in making our vision for Bellevue a reality.
