Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Women's Fund Summer Soiree

Join us on Wednesday, July 17th, at The Social Space in Rochester

5:30 – 8:30pm

The Women's Fund is approaching its 25th Anniversary, and we have an exciting announcement to share with you all at the 2024 Women's Fund Summer Soiree! Join us for fun, friends, and food. The Soiree features a strolling dinner, a wine bar, and a chance to be involved in the Women's Fund: Women Helping Women.

The Women’s Fund was founded in 2000 by a group of 100 women who saw a need in the community to champion more women’s causes. These 100 women each wrote a check, and they are now known as the founders of the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Women’s Fund.

The Women’s Fund is an endowed fund, sustained largely by donors who are women, making grants every year to organizations in our communities that support women’s causes: Women Helping Women.

In 2023, the CFGR Women’s Fund granted a total of $25,000 to various organizations in our communities working to help women and women’s causes:

$7000 to Friendly Rochester: a Dementia and Age-Friendly Initiative
$5000 to Rochester Area Neighborhood House
$1000 to the OPC Social and Activity Center for Acts of Kindness
$1000 to Somebody Who Cares: Single Mother Entrepreneurship Cohort
$2500 to Grace Centers of Hope
$3000 to Faith Works Michigan
$1000 to Hope Against Trafficking
$2500 to Assistance League of Southeast Michigan for Assault Survivor Kits
$2000 to the Chaldean American Ladies of Charity for fresh food distribution program

The Women’s Fund is approaching its 25th Anniversary next year, and we are excited to share the Women’s Fund mission and vision with the next generation of donors.

To learn more about the Women’s Fund, who it supports, and who the donors are, join us for a night of celebrating the work of the Women’s Fund.

This event is inclusive, open to the public, and absolutely a blast!
