Find the Right Membership for You
Our collective is strongest when we have a diverse membership of women from all walks of life and backgrounds. We offer a range of membership tiers to fit different lifestyle, commitment, and budget levels.
All Washington Women’s Foundation’s membership levels receive the same benefits. For those who qualify for multiple membership levels, we encourage you to select the level that best reflects your historical and current access to philanthropic resources, ability to give, and capacity to support our work.
Emerge Membership
$600 – $900 ($50 – $75/mo.)
We offer Emerge Memberships for community members dedicated to WaWF’s work who are experiencing limited financial circumstances. This level is reserved for those who deeply value our collective and genuinely need financial flexibility to participate.
Explore Membership
$1,200 – $1,500 ($100 – $125/mo.)
We offer a limited number of one-year Explore Memberships for those interested in joining our collective but wanting to experience how our community of women funding women operates first. After your trial year, you can renew at the membership level that fits your giving ability.
Grow Membership
$2,400 – $3,000 ($200 – $250/mo.)
We recognize that not everyone can participate at our Core Membership level of $3,600. Grow Memberships offers financial flexibility for those who want to join our collective but need a reduced rate.
Core Membership
$3,600 ($300/mo.)
Core Membership reflects the true cost of being a member at the Washington Women’s Foundation. Because it may shift over time with economic changes, we’ll notify you of any updates and offer the option to remain at your current rate or move to the new Core level.
Sustain Membership
$6,000 – $7,200 ($500 – $600/mo.)
Sustain Membership represents a commitment that includes both the genuine cost of membership and helps offset the expenses we incur for those whose financial circumstances are more limited. If you have the capacity to strengthen equity and economic diversity within our collective, we invite you to consider this level.
