Part of a national network, the Women's Initiative is engaging women of all ages and backgrounds to find solutions that create measurable change in their community and impact issues that matter to women.
Members of the Initiative are coming together to create positive, long-term change in the lives of women and children by focusing on root causes and pooling resources to increase our impact
Women are learning the benefits and rewards of leveraging their time, talent and resources on behalf of their interests. They are merging power, money and the desire to act as catalysts for change within their communities.
Through strategic giving, women are at the leading edge of a new era in philanthropy: The Era of the Power of the Purse. The Initiative’s “Power of the Purse” theme reflects the reality that women in our community have a strong impact on economic and quality-of-life issues. Every year, more women join the Initiative because they understand The Power of the Purse — and how their power can help others. The WLC focus goes beyond raising funds. We're raising hopes, creating opportunities and changing lives. The WLC has the power to generate change, to transform the tomorrows of those in need."
