Mabeth Hurd Paige is one of the WCA Foundation’s founding mothers. She also founded the Minnesota branch of the League of Women Voters. She sought office because she believed that women should participate more in politics after winning the right to vote.

Thank you to Mabeth Hurd Paige one of many brave women who broke barriers and led the way for women in the legislature.

Thank you WFMN.

Who we are.

Founded in 1866, the WCA Foundation is the oldest benevolent nonprofit organization in Minnesota. Over its long history it has evolved into a private foundation which makes grants to organizations and projects in the Twin Cities 7-county metropolitan area that provide direct services to women 18 years and older to meet their fundamental needs with priority given to education, economic stability, shelter, safety, and health.

The WCA Foundation is led by all-female volunteer membership and two full-time staff. www.wcafoundation.org
