Women are the central threads of our community.
When a woman thrives, her family thrives.
When a family thrives, the community thrives.
The women's Fund invests in women and girls now to create a better future for us all. We bring people together, identify community priorities, fund solutions, and invest time and talent to generate change. The Women’s Fund is part of a global movement, one of 160+ organizations in the Women’s Funding Network. Together, we are transforming the lives of women and girls and creating lasting impact on the communities in which they live.

Invest in the Future of Women and Girls
Although the needs of women and girls in Monterey County will shift over time, the need to invest in them will remain constant. The Women's Fund is building its endowment to insure that there are permanent resources avaible to meet those changing needs. With an endowment, a percentage of the fund’s value is available to grant each year while the principal remains intact and is invested, enabling the fund to grant many times over the initial amount in the years to come.
With your support, we will continue to make a difference today, while building the endowment to meet the challenges of the future.
We invite you to partner with us. For more information, please contact Tobi Marcus, Director of Resource Development at 831.375.9712 x126.
