Women's Fund
Overview
The Women’s Fund of Warrick County focuses the efforts of women philanthropists to create positive social change by funding projects which address current needs in our community.
Mission
To improve the quality of life in Warrick County by collectively funding significant grants to support local programs that give opportunities, encouragement, knowledge, and hope to the Warrick County community.
Our Endowment
The Women’s Fund Endowment is a permanent resource created to address the changing needs and priorities in our community. By building the Endowment, women philanthropists of today are building a long-term source of support for future needs. Unless otherwise requested by the donor, half of each gift to the Women’s Fund is added to its endowment, with the remaining funds used for immediate grantmaking for current needs in the Warrick County community.
