Women United

Women United brings donors together to create meaningful opportunities for women and girls, advance gender equity, and inspire local generosity through collective philanthropy. Since 2014, Women United has raised more than $1.25 million locally, supporting programs that help women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals build safe, healthy, and independent lives.
What sets Women United apart is its member-driven Community Action Grants program, which invests in resident-led initiatives that strengthen communities, create opportunities for women to connect, address local challenges, and inspire leadership. Through this participatory model, members help shape funding decisions, ensuring investments reflect diverse perspectives and lived experiences. The result is stronger, more relevant community impact and grassroots change that benefits thousands of local individuals and families.
