Help WYWF Create Opportunities for Wyoming's Women and Girls!

 

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

-Maya Angelou 

Dear Micah,  

"We receive our highest rate of return when we invest in women's economic security and girls' education. Investing in women is investing in families."

-Lloyd Blankfein, CEO, Goldman Sachs

 

A mere 7% of philanthropic dollars are spent on programming specifically for women and girls.* We ask you to step up now, equal the playing field and invest in Wyoming's women and girls.

 

It is your support that makes this work possible.In eleven years' time, the Wyoming Women's Foundation has supported over 100 organizations through grants totaling more than half a million dollars-$582,578.00! Your gift, coupled with gifts of hundreds of other individuals, makes positive change possible. It is as a community of philanthropists that we can make the greatest difference-the greatest impact-for women and girls. It is one woman's $25, another woman's $1,000, a young girl's $5, and a family's $100,000 that when combined, will change the world. It gets us one step closer to the world we envision for the next generation. Please invest in The Wyoming Women's Foundation today for the benefit of our entire community.
