Celebrating Women's History
‌
Happy Women's History Month to all the women, past and present, who have contributed to the work of The Women's Fund!

We believe that all women and girls should have equal opportunities and the skills and resources to be independent, self-sufficient, and contributing members of the community. To date, the Fund has granted more than $2.28 million to programs that directly benefit the women and girls of Forsyth County. And we couldn't do it without your support!
Did you know? The Women's Fund was founded more than 19 years ago when five friends affectionately known as the Fab Five — Michelle Cook, Lynn Eisenberg, Sarah Holthouser, Mary Jamis, and Janie Wilson —believed that they, along with other local women, could make a real difference in the lives of women and girls in their community. Learn more about our history.
Renew Your Membership Today!
Thank you to those who have already renewed their membership or are joining as new members of the Fund. Members who join or renew by March 31 help inform the Fund’s progress and efforts to grow our grantmaking resources for the 2024 grant cycle. As we honor women’s history and extraordinary impact, the Fund celebrates our members’ collective passion and contributions to help advance our mission.
 
Every woman’s voice matters, and it’s critical to ensure local women closest to the issues we work on can help lead this work and vote on funding decisions. Members can join or renew their membership through late summer and participate in 2024 funding decisions. If you’d like to join the Fund but lack financial resources, we encourage you to request a complimentary membership.  
Shout Out to our Women Leaders
The Women's Fund is led by truly remarkable woman who invest their time, talent, and treasure to build economic security for local women and girls. Our volunteers have already been busy this year, envisioning our 2024 goals and clarifying our strategies to get there together.

Join us in welcoming Allison Brouillette, Veronique George, and Kristin Giordano to our Board of Directors. We also want to take time to appreciate the leadership of Shaheen Towles, who rotated off the board in December.

We wouldn't be able to do our work without the guidance and involvement of active volunteers who serve on our Board of Directors, Advisory Council, and supporting committees. Learn ways to get involved or join a committee.
