How We Give

Washington Women's Foundation members each contribute $2,300 annually. $1,000 is reserved for the foundation's pooled fund awards; $1,000 is reserved for individual member grants; $300 helps support WWF educational programs.

Pooled Fund Awards
The Grant Committee researches needs in the community and requests proposals from organizations in the areas of arts & culture, education, environment, health and social services. The foundation does not limit its grant making to women's causes, but looks for:
  • Responses to urgent and critical need;
  • Bold new ventures; and/or
  • New approaches to time-worn problems.
The committee selects a ballot of 10 proposals, two in each issue area. The entire WWF membership selects the five organizations receiving awards. Awards range from $50,000 to $100,000, typically dispersed over two to three years.

Individual Member Grants
Each member makes her individual grant of $1,000 to the non-profit organization of her choice. These grants are awarded each fall and spring.
