Women for Women
Women for Women is an exciting program for women to join
together in an engaging and meaningful way and give back to their community.
By combining their financial resources and working with others committed
to the same cause, this group of women will make high-impact grants
to improve the lives of women and girls in our region.
Membership is comprised of women who make a tax-deductible gift of
$1,100 per year for three years. As a group, members learn about the
needs of local women and girls and then direct their resources to high-impact
programs that help less fortunate women make positive changes in their
lives. Every member has a voice and a vote in how funds are directed.
Grants of $35,000 - $100,000 are awarded to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations
and public agencies that work to promote the self-sufficiency
and personal well-being of women in the following areas:
- Health and Safety (such as prevention/treatment of physical, sexual
and verbal abuse; health care; emergency needs);
- Self-sufficiency (such as housing, food and shelter services; transportation
assistance; education; economic equity; financial well-being; self-esteem,
empowerment and self-respect); and
- Family Issues (such as parenting skills; childcare; senior and aging
issues).

The expertise and guidance of key leaders and organizations will be
sought in Women for Women’s research, grantmaking and
educational activities. As a result, each member of this giving circle
will become a more inspired and informed philanthropist.
More than 300 women have joined Women for Women to date. (Founding members are noted with an asterisk.) They include:
