How We Make An Impact<br />
Contributors’ annual donations are used for immediate<br />
grants as well as to increase the WLF’s permanent<br />
endowment fund. Annual Contributors choose the focus<br />
of the annual grants, which so far have included literacy,<br />
violence prevention, mental health, and homelessness.<br />
Grants to local non-profit organizations are selected<br />
by the WLF’s Grants Committee and funded by both<br />
annual contributions and the endowment fund.<br />
The WLF hosts bi-annual luncheons for Contributors<br />
and guests. At these events, women come together to<br />
network, award grants, and learn about the impact their<br />
giving is having on the community.<br />

Becoming a Supporter<br />
Women may join the WLF at any time of year. We have<br />
three contribution levels:<br />
· Benefactor = $250 or more;<br />
· Patron (25 years or younger) = $100 or more;<br />
· Prima donor = $10,000 or more;<br />
(considered to be a lifetime annual contributor)<br />
One half of all contributions (with the exception of any<br />
contributions specifically made for administrative or extraordinary<br />
expenses) will be pooled for the purpose of immediate<br />
annual grants; the second half will be pooled into the<br />
WLF’s endowment fund, which provides additional<br />
grants to be made both now and in years to come.<br />

Be An Angel Maker<br />
An honor that will last forever... The WLF Angel<br />
program is a fundraising initiative unique to the WLF.<br />
Donors who would like to honor or memorialize a<br />
friend, relative, neighbor, or influential woman in their<br />
life contribute a minimum of $1,000 to designate her<br />
as a “WLF Angel.” Angels are publicly honored at WLF<br />
luncheons and are inducted into the “Hall of Angels” on<br />
the WLF website. 100% of WLF Angel contributions<br />
are placed in the endowed fund so they can provide<br />
future grants in perpetuity.<br />
