Description
Women of Purpose Fund
The Women of Purpose Fund was established in 2008 by southwest Kansas area women who made donations to build a permanently endowed fund with a current value of over $260,000 to support local programs focused on issues affecting women. Their vision, commitment and passion have supported annual grants to enable women succeed in our communities.
The vision of this fund is: Empowering southwest Kansas women to take an active and powerful role in philanthropy to serve other women. The Women of Purpose fund allow dedicated, engaged community members to make a difference in the lives of many without a significant time or financial commitment. Please ask our staff to see how you can join hands with women in our area.
Women of Purpose Membership
Each year the Western Kansas Community Foundation invites local donors, 20 years and older, to contribute $100 to the Women of Purpose Fund to activate their voting membership that year. For those under 20 years old wishing to be members, there’s a Young Women of Purpose membership level with a membership contribution of $50 annually. A Kickoff Event is held each year to signal the annual membership campaign is underway. The voting membership closes on December 31 of each year so that a grant amount can be established for the Request for Proposal the following spring. One half of the membership donation provides funding for the grant to be awarded while the other half is invested to continue to grow the fund forever. Additionally, you have the opportunity to be recognized as a Women of Purpose Founding member with a once-per-lifetime gift of $1,000 which is entirely invested to help the fund grow.
