Core Values

We believe the lives of women and girls can be made better by some very easy involvement of women philanthropists.

We want social change - for women and by women.  We realize what progress entails and are prepared to make investments that enable it.

We make connections, swap expertise, and share ideas to change the way our community tackles problems - being bold and courageous, taking thoughtful and well-planned risks.

We work cooperatively with others, so that we can respond to the unique needs of women and girls and make meaningful and long lasting change.
