The Women’s Philanthropy Fund invests in local programs and services that address critical issues in our community such as poverty, housing instability, and domestic violence, while also empowering women and children to build self-sufficient lives. Areas of support include United Way’s Impact Hubs, which offer comprehensive programming in underserved communities at centralized locations enabling students and their families to easily access services, self-sufficiency programs supporting women and their families as well as efforts to end human trafficking via the Collaborative to End Human Trafficking.
Currently, the Women’s Philanthropy Fund supports Impact Hubs at Title I schools, including Paul Revere Elementary in Anaheim and R.H. Dana Elementary in Dana Point, where 80% of families from both schools are considered low-income.
Women United members can increase their impact in our community through an additional annual minimum investment of $1,000 to the Women’s Philanthropy Fund. This giving level offers the opportunity to collaboratively decide the distribution of funds that provide direct client services and address important issues affecting our community.
