and to educate our members as thoughtful philanthropists.
We're committed to the principles of trust-based philanthropy and aim to conduct a fair and transparent grantmaking process.

The Women’s Impact Fund awards grants in five program areas with recipients announced at our Annual Meeting in early May. Grant applications, member vote, and the grant pool size determine recipients and grant amounts. Grants for 2025-26 ranged from $8,000 to more than $55,000.
The grant pool consists of contributions from each member.
