It's been another great year
innovating, impacting, and improving women's health.
More than ever, during this, our 20th Anniversary year, we celebrate the many partners, donors, and supporters who have helped us get where we are today.
In 2017, the Wisconsin Women's Health Foundation:
- raised $265,000 from the Spring Gala
- served 3,824 women statewide
- received nearly 1 million dollars in grant funding
We thank you, and wish you a very happy and healthy holiday!

As we look ahead to 2018, our challenge is to adapt to the changing
landscape
of women's health to provide the best and most needed services.
We hope you will consider joining our mission. Your tax-deductible gift will finance valuable health programming to address the conditions and diseases that are most affecting Wisconsin women's wellness right now.
