CLICK HERE TO GIVE TO WOMEN TO WOMEN!
Women to Women is Greensboro’s first permanent grantmaking endowment to engage women in impacting the lives of our community’s women and their families.
Each year, the fund will award high-impact grants to programs, organizations and projects that will create positive and measurable impact. Our goal is to raise $3 million initially, and eventually $10 million. At $3 million, Women to Women will be able to award up to $150,000 each year in high-dollar grants.
In the preliminary phase of this effort, we have raised nearly $2 million. On November 18, we publicly launched Women to Women and began to raise the remaining $1 million of our initial $3 million goal.
At the luncheon, we also awarded our first grant -- for $25,000 -- to the Sheree Denese Jackson Foundation for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, Inc. Our gift will roughly double the capacity of some of the organization's services.
We are seeking the support of women across our community to reach our $3 million goal. Women have the compassion and caring to recognize where needs exist, the generous spirit to provide the financial resources necessary to help and the visionary leadership to make the effort sustained and successful.
By establishing and growing this permanent funding resource, we will together ensure that Greensboro recognizes and addresses women’s issue now and into the future.
What they're saying
“Since I moved to Greensboro in 1970, I have heard of and been involved in trying to solve the problems of women and families in our city. I would like to see, in my lifetime, some dramatic and creative steps taken to change the course of events of families in crisis. I believe that caring mothers with opportunities to improve their own lives are the answer to ensuring a positive future for our community. Empowering women—look out!”—Linda Sloan, Founding Co-Chair
