CREATE CHANGE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS IN OUR COMMUNITY

What a day! They can DEFINITELY hear us now.

Thank you for making the 26th Annual Women’s Foundation of Southern Arizona Luncheon such a success!

Over 1000 people attended our Annual Luncheon on April 24, 2019 – nonprofit partners and grantees, philanthropists, community leaders, Unidas participants – talk about turning up the volume! We’ll send out a photo album next week.

We celebrated 2019 Honoree Louise Glasser, Community Impact Award winner Negar Katirai, and announced the 2019 Founders Award recipient: Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse

And together, we raised over $415,000 to help women and girls thrive! Interested in still making an Annual Luncheon donation? Visit WFSA’s donation page and reference the luncheon and any additional tribute information if you wish.

AND NOW, THE RAFFLE WINNERS…

Thanks to our sponsor Southwest Airlines, these 3 lucky winners will get two round-trip tickets to any U.S. destination…

New CEO Amalia Luxardo

Amalia Luxardo joined the Women’s Foundation of Southern Arizona in January 2019 as the new Chief Executive Officer. As WFSA’s CEO, Luxardo provides strategic leadership in community engagement, mobilizing key stakeholders in advocacy and public policy, and securing financial resources to increase the sustainability and growth of the organization.

By way of Florida and Argentina, Luxardo is proud to call Arizona home. As a first-generation immigrant, her academic and professional careers have been dedicated to social, economic, racial, and gender issues.

In the last 10 years, our grantmaking has tripled. Yet, less than 8% of our all foundation giving in the U.S. goes to women and girls. We are so grateful to our donors for working to change this.

to more than 100 organizations covering a wide range of needs. Grants are made through annual competitive grant cycles, recommended from donor-advised funds and allocated through our Unidas program.
