Giving hope. Creating change.
The Fund for Women and Girls was created in 2000 to broaden the awareness of, and respond to, issues affecting women and girls through the power of collective philanthropy. Women and girls around the world are inordinately represented among the poor, uneducated, and abused. Without a focused effort to combat the issues that face them, they will remain among the underserved. Our vision is of a community where they are afforded the right to live in safety, meet their basic needs for living, have the opportunities to pursue their dreams, and are inspired to experience the value of philanthropy.
Give today
Make a gift to the Fund for Women and Girls to give hope and create change for the lives of women and girls in our community.
The Dream Team
The Dream Team was established in 2011 with a goal and purpose of encouraging 1,000 individuals to donate $1,000 each to create a permanent $1 million endowment. From the endowment, annual grants are made available to local nonprofit organizations that provide services to women and girls in the South Central PA counties of Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lebanon, and Perry, and the Dillsburg Area.
You too can become a Dream Team member by pledging $1,000 tax-deductible donation to the Fund, payable over a 5 year period. By joining the Dream Team, you will help the Fund for Women and Girls reach their $1 million endowment goal and increase the amount of grant dollars going to local nonprofit organizations supporting women and girls.
