A Fund For Women empowers women and girls in Dane County

At the heart of A Fund for Women's mission to transform Dane County so that all women and girls thrive are two basic activities: fundraising and grantmaking.

Since 1993, when a visionary group of original donors raised $100,000 to start an endowment fund, A Fund for Women has awarded some 125 grants totaling more than $1.3 million to nonprofit programs and initiatives.

When we empower women and girls, we improve the world.
