The Women’s Giving Fund (WGF) is an inclusive opportunity for female donors to learn about women’s economic security issues, focus their giving on issues impacting women and children, and experience the power of collaborative philanthropy. The Fund was established in 2017 by a diverse group of professional women. Their goal was to create an inclusive opportunity for female donors to learn about women’s economic security issues, focus their giving on issues impacting women and children, and experience the power of collaborative philanthropy.

In 2022, the WGF was named a Signature Fund in celebration of IECF’s 80th Anniversary. Based on funds raised each year, grants are awarded at least annually. A contribution of $200 or more to the WGF will enable you to participate in our annual grantmaking process as we identify and support the organizations that are most in need.

To support the Women’s Giving Fund and help uplift women and their families in the IE, make a gift today.
