Women & Girls Fund Founding Membership

Between 1999 and 2004, the Women & Girls Fund was conceived of and grew from a dream to a reality….from 12 women around a table with a dream and their own generous gifts to offer, to more than 500 donors who together, established a $2 million permanent endowment to help improve the lives of women and girls in southeastern Connecticut.

Founding members -  each committing $1,000 - were crucial to this achievement.  We salute all 208 of them!
