Become a member of Washington Women's Foundation

Our nearly 500 members leverage their giving power to make a major impact on local nonprofit organizations. By pooling our funds to make large impact grants, we learn what a powerful difference we can make through collective giving. We also gain insights that make us more thoughtful, deliberate individual donors.

We are an inclusive group of intelligent and caring women who enjoy working and learning together. Spanning generations, our members include active professionals, busy mothers and community volunteers who dedicate as much or as little time as they desire to Foundation work. We seek to broaden the impact of women in philanthropy by actively encouraging younger givers and ethnically-diverse women to become involved in the Foundation.

We welcome all women who share our commitment to informed, collective giving. Learn more about getting involved or contact us today at 206-340-1710 or info@wawomensfoundation.org.

We also welcome guests at our educational programs - visit our Calendar of Events.

“Washington Women's Foundation gives me the opportunity to learn about philanthropy and nonprofits, the freedom to direct my own giving, the power to pool my money to make a major impact, and a connection to other women who care about our community. It also provides the flexibility to be as involved as my schedule allows.”

“I love being able to direct $1,000 of my contribution to something I'm committed to personally, while the other $1,000 goes to the pooled fund to be leveraged into a $50,000 or $100,000 grant that makes a much bigger impact. It is very meaningful to be part of a group of bright, focused, and dedicated women who are working together to make choices about philanthropy. There is great learning energy here with others who share a commitment to our community.”
