Libby Pedigo

Director of Leadership Giving, Community Health Network Foundation

Libby joined Community Health Network Foundation in January 2013. As development director, she lead the foundation’s annual, employee and physician giving programs. In 2024 she was named director of leadership giving with a focus on major gifts to support the network’s strategic priorities.

She was born and raised in Columbus, Indiana. At a young age, her brother contracted a rare autoimmune disease that left him in and out of hospitals for three years. As a result, Libby initially thought about a career in nursing but decided to pursue her passions of giving back and civic service in a different way.

Libby began her career in 1994 with U.S. Senator Richard Lugar in his Indianapolis office. During her eight-year tenure with the senator, she enjoyed aiding constituents and conducting statewide outreach. She made a career move in 2001, when she relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona, and received a donor relations position with Mayo Clinic. This opportunity helped Libby to learn about healthcare fundraising from some of the top development professionals in the country. In 2003 she relocated back to Indianapolis where she worked for Riley Children’s Foundation as a major gift fundraiser and campaign manager for nine years, overseeing the philanthropic support for the expansion of the hospital’s Simon Family Tower.

Libby earned a bachelor of arts in political science from Miami University, where she also served as the president of her sorority, Chi Omega. She and her husband, Matt, have a daughter. They enjoy family travels and especially outdoor adventures.
