Women's Legacy Fund of Montgomery County
Mission:
The Women’s Legacy Fund of Montgomery County is women joining together to impact our community positively. We educate and inspire women to identify and fund innovative approaches to address community issues which affect women and their families.
Who We Are:
We are a group of women wanting to make a difference in our community by offering support in the form of a grant providing the greatest impact to women and children of Montgomery County. We realize that a combined effort makes a greater impact.
Membership:
Members of the Women’s Legacy Fund (WLF) shall contribute $300.00 or more each year to the Women’s Legacy Fund of Montgomery County. One-hundred dollars of the contribution will be added to the WLF endowment at the Montgomery County Community Foundation for the purpose of providing support to non-profit agencies that provide services to women and children of Montgomery County. The remaining contribution will be added to the WLF pass-through/grant fund at the Foundation to be granted at the discretion of the WLF membership to non-profit agencies that provide services to women and children of Montgomery County.
Goals:
We desire to affect change that improves the quality of life for women and children in our community by awarding grants to qualified organizations that can identify and propose solutions to address those changes.
Grants:
Grants are given once a year to a non-profit agency that submits an innovative, sustainable proposal to issues affecting women and their families as outlined in the Request for Proposals. After presentations, the winning agency is then determined by a majority vote of the Women's Legacy members.
