Empowering women and girls in Waukesha County since 2004

Your gift to the Women and Girls Fund, combined with the generosity of many other donors, helps improve the odds in Waukesha County.

Hebron House Statistically speaking In 2015, more than 27,000 individuals in Wisconsin needed shelter services – 43 percent were women and children who had no other option for safety and support during a crisis.

Improving the odds When the safety of a woman and her children is at risk, the need for immediate help is at its height. This year an $8,500 grant from the Women and Girls Fund (WGF) to the Hebron House helped ensure 12 Waukesha County women and their children had a place to turn to during the worst of times. The Hebron House is a sanctuary for women who need immediate help due to homelessness and abuse. Delivering respectful hospitality, the Hebron House offers women managed care and an array of services directed at supporting a woman’s self-sufficiency and putting families back together. WGF grants are critical to ensuring these wraparound services are available to Waukesha County women and children today and for years to come.

Based on the generosity of our donors, the Women and Girls Fund, in 2017, awarded grants totaling nearly $85,000 to area agencies delivering innovative programs that achieve results and empower Waukesha County women and girls. Positive change is happening.  Help us continue the momentum and make a gift to the Women and Girls Fund. Today more than ever, your generous contribution can help us improve the odds, one grant at a time.
