Dear Members,

It is hard to believe we are nearing the end of 2020 and I can’t say I am sorry to see it go.  This year has been full of challenges and transitions in each of our day to day lives.  It has also been a unique year for the Women’s Fund.  In March when the pandemic hit the United States, we were amid Site Visits for our 2020 grant cycle.  Thanks to a nimble Grants team we were able to quickly pivot and maintain our schedule by organizing Virtual Site Visits. Despite the many changes to our “normal” grant process we were able to successfully award over $357,000 in grants to ten organizations.  Thank you again to our grants team and to all of you for your flexibility and attention to all the communications. The charities have each expressed their sincere gratitude for funding and confirmed the challenging environment in which they are all now operating.
