The Annual Fund
Each of our members helps to support the Foundation through the annual membership contribution.  However, a gap still exists between membership contributions and the total cost of managing the educational programs, events, committees, and activities of the Foundation.  A gift to the Annual Fund provides critical funding for Foundation programs, continuing our strong trajectory of growth and momentum.


The Colleen S. Willoughby Endowment
In 2005, the Foundation embarked on an endowment effort to honor the inspiration and leadership of our founder, Colleen Willoughby. The intent of this fund is to provide for the long-term sustainability and vitality of the Washington Women’s Foundation.

The Endowment Fund reached a $2.5 million balance in 2010, and continues to grow through the generosity of members and community donors who choose to make gifts to this fund.
