Have you ever thought, "I wish my charitable giving could have greater significance in my community"?

It was this same "wish" that brought the Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County into existence — it's at the core of what we're about. We believe that our charitable giving will have greater significance in our community when we pool our resources and that together we can have a greater impact on the lives of our community's women and children than most of us could ever dream of alone.

The Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County is taking the lead in redefining grassroots philanthropy by viewing the act of giving not merely as charity but as a means to foster connections within the community. Engaging in strategic charitable activities increases our knowledge about community issues and the organizations that provide solutions.

Leading women philanthropists have long pointed to the empowerment of women as a successful strategy for achieving sustained economic growth and productivity in communities around the world. One way women throughout our country are empowering themselves is by becoming members of giving circles like the Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County.

Through the Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County, we have the opportunity to participate in smart, strategic giving that is focused not on how much we give but on how what we give creates lasting change. To this end, at the same time that each year's Women's Fund contributions allow for the award of significant impact grants, they also are used to build an endowment that will continue to give back to the community forever into the future.

By joining the Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County, you will make a difference that far exceeds what you might be able to do individually. Together, we are strengthening our entire community by supporting programs that improve the lives of women and children.

We, the members of the Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County, believe that when women and children thrive, the entire community prospers.
