CREATE CHANGE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS IN OUR COMMUNITY

Every $1 invested creates $6.62 for women in So AZ

In April, the Women’s Foundation released our 2018 WFSA Impact Report, quantifying how we are making measurable changes in the lives of women and their families.

In 2017, through our grantmaking program, WFSA invested over $700,000 that helped 9,286 women and girls increase their income and assets by $4.6 million through higher wages, decreased debt and increased savings.

As a result of WFSA’s new outcomes measures initiative, every $1 invested creates $6.62 for women in Southern Arizona.

Thank you Southern Arizona!

$1 Million Challenge Met Early

Thanks to an outpouring of support from donors, and the hard work of women’s foundation fundraising volunteers and board members, the goal was met far earlier than expected. In partnership with the Connie Hillman Family Foundation, we announced the news at the biggest charitable luncheon event in Tucson, the 2018 Luncheonon April 18, 2018 at Tucson Convention Center. Thanks to our generous sponsors, supporters and partners, together, we celebrated women and girls in our community, honored the incredible Gail Giclas, highlighted over $700,000 in grant awards and presented the 2018 Laura Penny Community Impact Award.

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.
