Membership Questions

Each member commits to $1,300 per year in membership donations. The $1,300 annual donations are allocated between the grants pool ($1,000) and our operations and programming ($300). 100% of membership dues are tax-deductible. As of July 1, 2023, we are piloting a lower member dues level of $600. This level is intended for new members for whom an annual gift of $1,300 is inaccessible. All members can vote on grants and participate in leadership. A member’s giving level will only be known to WIF staff. Learn more here. Those interested in joining at this level should contact Executive Director Patricia Massey Hoke.
Yes, you can join at any time during the year. Our program and fiscal year run from July 1 to June 30. For those who pay annually, we ask membership donations to be made by December 31 each year.
New members join the Women’s Impact Fund every year, but we are always recruiting! Founded in 2003 with 158 members, we’re currently 450+ women strong. There is no limit on the number of members.
There are no restrictions on becoming a member – we welcome anyone who identifies as a woman who is interested in supporting our mission. You do not need to know a current member and there is no application. In addition, there is no minimum or maximum age to join. For those who are not able to access the $1,300 annual membership, we are piloting a lower $600 annual membership. Learn more here.
No, but most of our members live in the greater Charlotte metro area. Our focus on nonprofit organizations in Mecklenburg County means most members are also here in Mecklenburg County.
We do not have any formal volunteer time requirement, but members are invited to participate in events and committee work as desired. The time our members spend each year is up to them. This flexibility is one of the hallmarks of the Women’s Impact Fund. As women, our commitments change year to year. We celebrate those who want to volunteer time and energy, as well as those who are not able to volunteer but support us through their annual membership donation.
