Women's Impact Fund in Dilworth Quarterly Today! 

Getting the word out about Women's Impact Fund is a major focus for the Communications & Marketing and Membership Committees this year.  Neighborhood newsletters are proving to be a great resource.  Check out our front-page story in the December Dilworth Quarterly (first story in our Media room). 

Do you live in a neighborhood that has a publication we should consider?  If so, please contact member Paula Broadwell for more information on helping us tell the Women's Impact Fund story!   

Learn How to Make a Difference...Forever   

In February (date TBA), Women's Impact Fund will host a Lunch & Learn on legacy giving - one way each of us can make a difference by leaving a gift through our estate to one or more of our favorite charities.  Organized by member Chris McLeod and sponsored by Bragg Financial Advisors, the Member Education session will give you the tools and inspiration you need to make a difference forever.  Read more
