Celebrating 20 Years!

A grassroots effort led by six visionary and compassionate women in 1992 has blossomed into a grantmaking fund that has raised over $4 million used to enrich 350 local programs serving women and children in the greater Spokane area.  The collaboration between corporate sponsors, Pioneer Circle members, table captains, generous donors and community volunteers is a reason to celebrate.  Join the celebration of WHWF's mission at the 20th annual fundraising luncheon on May 21, 2012 and be empowered to make a difference in our community!

President's Circle Print E-mail

The President's Circle is a giving level open to all donors.  Membership ensures that a single donation or pledge impacts all needs met by the Women Helping Women Fund: Underwriting, Programs, Endowment, and specific designations.

These generous contributions will help cover expenses for our signature event, the spring luncheon; fund our annual giving to programs that help women and children all over Spokane County; and invest in our future stability through the endowment fund.

While we intend to make giving easy, we also intend to empower women to direct their philanthropy with choices that reflect their personal goals. Would you like your “extra” dollars to be directed toward our Vivian Winston Scholarship Fund, to programs assisting women and children in need, to provide additional operating funds, or toward the future through our Endowment Fund?  Whatever you decide is the right answer – it is up to you. 

President's Circle members are recognized on our website, in the luncheon printed program, and at the event.  They are also invited to an invitation-only celebration at the home of our board President.  Here's how it works:

Your $1,000 membership automatically includes:

Luncheon (Funding for Women and Children's Programs): $200
Endowment (Building a Legacy): $200
Pioneer Circle (Underwriting): $200

Your additional $400 donation may be directed to one or more of the following categories  - click below to learn more.

Pioneer Circle
(underwriting our costs)
Endowment (securing the future)
Luncheon (community programs)
Vivian Winston Scholarship (educational and child care assistance to deserving young mothers working to improve life - for themselves and their children)
