Thank you for
Investing in Her!

At the Women’s Fund Luncheon on September 6, we invited you to Invest in Her and help us receive a $10,000 challenge gift. We are thrilled to share that 300 generous donors responded to that invitation to support local women and girls with their luncheon donation. Because of you, we not only received our $10,000 challenge gift, we exceeded our total luncheon goal of $30,000. Thank you!
We are pleased to recognize the donors below who made gifts of $50 or more since September 6. Thank you for Investing in Her!

Key Findings - Political Representation
- Women hold 24% of elected offices in local government, about the same as statewide.
- In 2016, there were only 2 women (Amanda Stuck & Joan Ballweg) out of the 25 elected State Representatives (8%) whose Districts include some portion of the 4-county region.
- Outagamie County had the largest increase in women in local government (from 2010 to 2016), and now leads the region.
