Improving the quality of life for women and girls in Waukesha County

I'm IN! - INvesting in the Future

ImagINe What We Can Do Together?

The Women and Girls Fund has grown dramatically since its inception as a result of the generosity and compassion of philanthropists. Each year, we are able to award only one third of the grant dollars requested. We have ambitious goals to continue to help more women and girls overcome barriers and move forward.

Through our “I’m IN” campaign, we plan to build this fund, so we can make an even greater impact for those who need us most. Growing our endowment will allow us to fund more programs, and provide larger, more impactful grants, and reach more women and girls than ever before.

Those we serve continue to INspire us. We hope you will be INspired to get INvolved.
