The WGF is building a culture of giving dedicated to the unique needs of women and girls throughout Waukesha County. We know that investing in the advancement of women leads to stronger families, more diverse, thoughtful workforces, and more robust communities. That’s why we seek out non-profit partners in Waukesha County and invest in their programs that focus on the health, well-being, education, and empowerment of women and girls.

We are committed to being responsible stewards of each dollar donated. Guidelines established by the board of directors guarantee that every grant dollar awarded is used toward the stated goal.

In addition, each year we celebrate the accomplishments of women, girls, and the organizations that serve them through our Women of Distinction luncheon. As our signature fundraising event, this program recognizes Waukesha County women who have demonstrated sustained excellence, accomplishments, and creativity through community involvement.

The values that we hold in fulfilling our purpose and mission include:

• We believe that empowering women and girls builds strong families and communities.
• We believe in celebrating the accomplishments of women and girls.
• We believe everyone is a philanthropist and can strengthen our community in their own unique way.
