Can we count you IN?
Every day, right here in Waukesha County:
  • Women are abused by someone they trusted.
  • Families find themselves homeless.
  • Children aren’t sure when they will have their next meal.
  • Seniors feel isolated.
  • Women suffer silently with mental illness.

These issues don’t go away during a pandemic. In fact, they are amplified.

These are challenging times for us all, and we hope you’re in good spirits and health. Our community needs us and we need you.

Every day, with your help, grants from the Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County:
  • Help girls build confidence to see themselves as future leaders.
  • Ensure women don’t have to choose between going to the doctor or putting food on the table.
  • Teach young moms critical parenting skills.
  • Provide safety, shelter and support to survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
  • Strengthen our community and support women and girls in many other ways, as our 2020 grants summary shows.
Earlier this year when we saw the challenges of Covid-19, we responded. In addition to our annual grant awards of $103,650, the Women and Girls Fund launched $25,000 in special emerging needs grants focused on immediate relief and rebuilding for our frontline partners serving the most vulnerable members of our community.
We need your help to continue this level of support and hopefully increase it.

If you are able, please contribute today to the Women and Girls Fund. If you are unable to donate at this time, there are many other ways you can support us. You can advocate for us by sharing our mission with a family member or friend. Even a quick mention on your social media would mean the world to us. In times like this, we’re reminded of how interconnected we all are.

Thank you for your past contributions to the fund. Without you, none of this is possible.
