GET INVOLVED

The Marion Circle

For many, giving is about so much more than a financial commitment. It is an opportunity to have a more influential, even hands-on role in finding solutions to the problems affecting women and girls of color.

Your investment of $5,000 annually will always be at work helping women thrive—from teaching new skills that help the next generation of entrepreneurs through our Rock Star Fund to supporting our grantee partners as they advocate around issues impacting our communities, like maternal health and affordable child care and education. 

Your annual commitment to The Women’s Foundation will help us leverage community-wide resources that support the most effective solutions through research, grantmaking, and advocacy.
