Circle of Empowerment
In 2018, the Women’s Endowment Fund created the Circle of Empowerment to maintain continued sustainability of the fund and increase its grantmaking impact each year. The Circle of Empowerment is a special group of donors who support the Women’s Endowment Fund with an annual leadership gift of $1,000 or more.
Donors of our Circle of Empowerment receive:
- Special recognition at our events, including being listed in all event programs and marketing related materials
- Advance First-to-Know communication about our fund’s latest news
- An invitation to our annual Circle of Empowerment gathering
- The knowledge that their gifts uplift women in our community now and forever
To learn more about the Circle of Empowerment, please contact Renee Scherick.

For online gifts, please select "This is a campaign gift" on the giving form.
