On May 19, 2026, more than 1,400 community members gathered for Give Like a Woman and demonstrated the extraordinary power of collective generosity.
Together, we raised $160,000 to support local nonprofit programs and scholarships that help women and children across Spokane County. Thank you!
If you were unable to attend, or if you would still like to make a gift, there is still time to support this important work. Every donation helps create opportunities for women, strengthen families, and build a healthier community for all.
While you're here, be sure to watch the KSPS interview with keynote speaker Erin Brockovich. Her inspiring message reminds us that meaningful change begins when people choose to get involved and take action.
What a Day!
Meet the Scholars
Vivian Winston Scholars
Established in 2006, the Vivian Winston Scholarship honors WHWF Co-Founder Vivian Winston, a passionate advocate for social justice and an early champion for women and children. In her spirit, the scholarship supports mothers pursuing their education at area colleges or trade schools—opening doors for women to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Kaitlin G Covert Memorial Scholarship Recipeints
Kaitlin was a force to be reckoned with from the minute she was born. Kaitlin was a caregiver at heart with family, friends, and the clients she cared for. Unfortunately, her internal struggle kept her from realizing her hopes and dreams. Kaitlin's family started this scholarship to support women like Kaitlin who somehow do find within themselves the strength to overcome their life circumstances and find the way forward to change their stars.
