ACCOMPLISHMENTS<br />
Thanks to your generous support, the<br />
Women’s <strong>Funding</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong> (<strong>WFA</strong>) exceeded<br />
our goals for 2005. Highlights include:<br />
GRANTS<br />
• More than $236,000 distributed to <strong>WFA</strong>’s 21<br />
member agencies, made possible by workplace<br />
campaign donations.<br />
• More than $152,000 awarded in annual and donor-<br />
advised grants focused on addressing the needs of<br />
women and girls.<br />
OTHER PROGRAMS<br />
• <strong>WFA</strong> completed a Strategic Plan with the help of<br />
more than 20 community leaders, board members<br />
and staff. This plan outlines objectives for increasing<br />
<strong>WFA</strong>’s impact through 2009. The full plan is available<br />
at www.wfalliance.org.<br />
• <strong>WFA</strong> also embarked on a multi-year Advancement<br />
Campaign to strengthen our organization’s opera-<br />
tional capacity, conduct A Closer Look research study,<br />
and increase our strategic grant making. Several<br />
lead individuals and organizations stepped forward<br />
early to support this effort; their names are listed in<br />
the following pages.<br />
• <strong>WFA</strong> launched A Closer Look research study,<br />
which is taking an in-depth look at the realities<br />
facing women and girls in King, Pierce, Sno-<br />
homish and Whatcom counties. From this, <strong>WFA</strong><br />
will shape and lead a philanthropic agenda<br />
that has a greater impact, provides solutions<br />
to community issues, and targets funds<br />
toward the root causes of many challenges<br />
facing women and girls.<br />
WHO WE ARE<br />
No other organization in the Puget Sound region does what we<br />
do. The Women’s <strong>Funding</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong> (<strong>WFA</strong>) is the only funding<br />
organization in the Puget Sound region devoted solely to invest-<br />
ing in the lives of women and girls.<br />
Since its inception in 1983, <strong>WFA</strong> has distributed millions of<br />
dollars to more than 100 organizations, helping thousands<br />
of women and girls in our community.<br />
<strong>WFA</strong> invests in progressive, visionary and vibrant orga-<br />
nizations working on the ground level to address issues<br />
around education and leadership, poverty, domestic<br />
violence, discrimination and reproductive freedom.<br />
Often these organizations are meeting emerging needs,<br />
and are still small and under-funded. From the local<br />
Southern Sudanese Women’s Association to the North-<br />
west Women’s Law Center, contributions from <strong>WFA</strong><br />
make a significant impact on the infrastructure, con-<br />
tinued growth and effectiveness of these organizations.<br />
Mission:<br />
The Women’s <strong>Funding</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong> promotes justice, health<br />
and opportunities by investing in the future of women<br />
and girls.<br />
Vision:<br />
The Women’s <strong>Funding</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong> envisions a world where<br />
all women and girls thrive in a just and equitable society<br />
and have the resources and opportunities to reach their<br />
full potential.<br />
