Media is welcome to attend the luncheon as a guest of the Women’s Fund (the food and the company are always stellar), for priority seating please RSVP by April 21.
The grants, selected by the Women’s Fund’s nearly 600 members, are kept secret until announced at the luncheon (even Women’s Fund members don’t know the results until the event). The Women’s Fund is a collective volunteer donor group focused on the needs of women, children and families in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Carpinteria. The concept is simple: Women’s Fund members pool their charitable donations, research critical community needs and then vote on which agencies will receive the funds collected during the year.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Women’s Fund. Founding members will be on hand to answer questions and comment on this milestone in the organization’s history.
