SUMMARY:2025 PopUp for Women & Girls (TICKETED EVENT)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fast-paced\, fun-filled evening of collective giving where together we’ll learn about\, pitch and select our 2025 Women & Girls Grantees!  PopUp is an interactive celebration of women\, of girls\, of organizations creating equitable opportunities for women and girls across Washington State\, and of the power of collective philanthropy. \nAt WaWF\, one of our cherished values is to elevate and amplify the power of all who identify as women. Supported by the WFA Fund for Women\, we offer the Women & Girls Grant to organizations focused on women and girls within the year’s chosen priorities: Mitigating the Impact of Climate Change\, Youth Mental Health\, and Adult Educational Opportunities. The PopUp is the culmination of the work of the Women & Girls Grant Committee.   \nOur working definition of gender identity is a person’s internal\, deeply held sense of their gender. As such\, we define women and girls as individuals whose gender identity is as a woman or girl. For the Women & Girls grant program\, we intend to fund with an intersectional lens and aim to support organizations that foster more equitable opportunities for women and girls. We also want to make sure all guests know that there will be an opportunity to give in support of our work during the program \nThis event is in person at the Labour Temple in Belltown\, Seattle from 5:00 to 8:00 PM on Thursday\, December 4th\, 2025. Everyone is welcome. Tickets are $65 each or you can purchase a table for 10 for $650.

SUMMARY:Member 2 Member: Kathy Edwards on Philanthropy (MEMBERS + FRIENDS)
DESCRIPTION:The WaWF collective is a wealth of knowledge\, experience\, perspective\, and expertise. We’re excited to continue this Member focused series: Member 2 Member\, where members are invited to nominate their fellow members to present on a subject with which they hold special proficiency or expertise. \nJoin us Thursday\, May 8th\, at 4:30PM to hear from one of WaWF’s longtime members\, Kathy Edwards\, on her life’s work of philanthropy and the decision to sunset her family foundation\, Cedarmere Foundation. Kathy will be joined in conversation by  fellow WaWF member\, Mercedes Luna. \nKathy Edwards attained a Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Systems and spent 30 years doing organization development work with nonprofit organizations throughout the US and internationally.  She has had numerous articles on nonprofit governance and leadership published in regional and national publications. Kathy has also served on numerous nonprofit boards including the Washington Women’s Foundation\, Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest\, World Neighbors (an international development organization headquartered in Oklahoma City)\, and Saint George’s School (Spokane\, WA).  After retiring in 2005\, Kathy and her husband\, George\, founded the Cedarmere Foundation.  For the past 18 years\, Kathy has served as the foundation’s President and led its efforts to strengthen the leadership and infrastructure of nonprofit organizations in the Puget Sound region through capacity building grants.  In recent years\, under Kathy’s leadership\, the foundation has narrowed its focus by being intentional about building the capacity of BIPOC-led or BIPOC-serving nonprofits in order to better meet the needs of under-resourced communities and give their members a voice.  Kathy served two years as the co-chair of the Washington Statewide Capacity Collaborative in 2021-2022. She and her board have recently completed the process of distributing the foundation’s entire endowment through grants to capacity building organizations and sunsetting the Cedarmere Foundation. \nMercedes Luna (Tlingit) is the Associate Director for Advancement at the University of Washington School of Nursing. In her work as a fundraiser\, Mercedes is passionate about changing the field of philanthropy to create a more equitable and just future for the next generation. As a fourth-generation Seattleite\, Yonsei (fourth-generation Japanese)\, Filipino American\, and enrolled member of the Tlingit tribe\, her mixed heritage fuels her\, and she is proud to volunteer and support her local communities and cultural preservation. In addition to being an active member of the Washington Women’s Foundation\, Mercedes also serves on the Executive Board of Trustees of Look\, Listen + Learn TV and on the Pulling Together Committee of Friends of Waterfront Seattle. \nClick here to register for M2M with Kathy Edwards! \nPlease email programs@wawomensfdn.org with your Member 2 Member nominations and any questions about the event. This event is in person at the Washington Women’s Foundation on Thursday\, May 8th!

SUMMARY:MET: Japanese Garden Tour (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:Come join fellow WaWF members in touring the Seattle Japanese Garden. Our guide will be WaWF member and certified guide\, Alice Cunningham. \nWhen: Wednesday\, April 9\, 2025\, at11:30am. \nWhere: Seattle Japanese Garden ( https://www.seattlejapanesegarden.org) \nLunch:  to follow afterwards at Jae’s Asian Bistro and Sushi (https://www.jaesasianbistroandsushi-seattle.com). We will carpool to this nearby restaurant. \nCost: $10 for adults\, $7 for 65+adults \nRegister here for the Japanese Garden Tour!\nIf you’ve watched the TV mini-series “Shogun” you’ll know that one Lord out fought and out witted the other feudal lords to unify Japan after several centuries of brutal fighting. That Lord\, Tokugawa\, ruled that all the other feudal lords had to move to Tokyo\, but their families had to stay in their respective castles. They were not allowed to travel. Stuck at home the families looked for a way to ease their boredom. \nThe development of stroll gardens large in scale and created for enjoyment meant that these stay-at-home families could experience the idea of traveling. Our own Japanese Garden in the Washington Park Arboretum was designed as just that type of stroll garden dating from the early years of the Edo Period (1603-1868). \nJoin us for a tour of this unique beautiful garden at the height of spring.  Please email christineatkins1@gmail.com with any questions.
