2019 Annual Appeal Campaign
|
Please help us reach our goal!
You can never underestimate the power of giving.
This year, we set a lofty $150,000 goal for our annual appeal. Funds raised help us provide essential grants to Waukesha area agencies providing programs that support the
Health, Well-being, Education
and
Empowerment
of Women and Girls in our community.
To help us make this goal a reality, Karie and Tom Stupek have generously energized our fundraising efforts by offering a $50,000 challenge grant.
“We have always focused our charitable giving on programs that support women and children’s issues. When we became involved with the Women & Girls Fund (WGF), we not only found an organization that meets our support criteria, but also acts as our partner. Through this challenge grant we hope to encourage and inspire others so they too can be enriched through giving. Won’t you join us in supporting the WGF and its commitment to improving the lives of women and girls throughout Waukesha County.”
~ Karie and Tom Stupek
From now until the end of January, every dollar donated to the Women and Girls Fund will be matched one for one up to a total of $50,000.
If you have not yet made a tax-deductible donation, please consider the WGF in your charitable giving plans. If you have already made a gift, we thank you for your support. Together, we can change lives, one grant at a time.
