The Women’s Fund is a fund of the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation. In partnership with the Women’s Fund volunteer board of advisors, the Foundation stewards, invests and distributes grants to community organizations. Women’s Fund provides grants that impact our area annually, while also growing its endowment so to make a difference each and every year – for all time. The Women’s Fund launched an exciting new campaign, Imagine the Future at our annual luncheon held in September 2013. This will enable the fund to make a transformational impact grant of $500,000 dollars into our local community to change the lives of girls in the Greater Green Bay area. The campaign will also add an additional $500,000 dollars to the endowment, which will grant more money annually and continue making a difference for all time.

The Women's Fund endowment has officially surpassed the $5 million mark! What started as a $10,000 investment in 1995 now has grown to over $5 million. This growth has enabled our grantmaking to surpass $2 million in our mission of supporting programs that open doors of opportunity for women and girls in Brown, Oconto, and Kewaunee counties. None of this impact would be possible without our generous supporters!
