While giving directly to favorite charities allows a member to have more control over where his/her money goes, we have found that most of our members give to The Women’s Fund IN ADDITION to their charities of special interest. There are several reasons our members state for loving the concept of a collective giving:
Our members appreciate that by combining their donations with others, their giving is leveraged into larger amounts that can have a much greater impact in the community.
Because of our Grant Review Panel vetting process and careful monitoring of the use of our grant money, The Women’s Fund can safely grant money to deserving smaller and newer organizations that an individual might not have the time or resources to fully investigate.
The Women’s Fund gives to specific projects/programs, allowing us to know exactly how the money will be spent.
