During this holiday season, we want to take time to thank you for your generous support of the Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County. Whether you have attended one of our events, contributed to our fund, or advocated for women and girls programs throughout the year, you are making a difference in our community.
Every dollar counts
Every donation to the Women and Girls Fund, whether $1, $100, $1,000 or greater, is combined to make an extraordinary impact.
Every $5,000-$10,000 we receive allows us to award a targeted grant to a local nonprofit agency to support a well-defined project or program that will help women and girls become stronger, better educated, healthier and more empowered.
Changing lives one grant at a time
2018 grants are impacting lives right here in our community. Your dollars are helping to:
- Give 120 high school girls in Waukesha County the knowledge and skills to be work ready and successful through a Junior Achievement job shadow program.
- Allow the Waukesha County Community Dental Clinic provide free dental care to an additional 600 women and girls.
- Provide 1,800 pre-school children free comprehensive vision screenings, referrals to care and follow-up needed to ensure they have healthy vision to begin school.
- Furnish a 60-inch touch screen with 3,000 senior-focused applications that will provide social, mental, physical and spiritual well-being for frail elderly residing in assisted living.
Please help us reach our $125,000 goal.
Thanks to the generous contributions received to date, we have reached 68 percent of our targeted annual appeal goal. If you have not yet made a tax-deductible donation, please consider the Women and Girls Fund in your charitable giving plans. Together, we can change lives, one grant at a time.
We wish you and your family a very happy holiday and all the best for the new year.
