BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR

Invest in the power of collective giving — every month!

At Washington Women’s Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of women coming together to drive meaningful change. Our collective giving model amplifies their contributions into powerful investments in community-led solutions.

But to sustain this momentum, we need consistent support.

Why a Recurring Gift Matters:

  • Stability equals bold action: monthly gifts provide a reliable foundation that allows WaWF to plan strategically, respond swiftly to emerging needs, and fund innovative initiatives with confidence.
  • Deepen our impact: recurring donors fuel our gender & equity-focused work — ensuring we don’t just give…but continue to grow our giving capacity.
  • Simplicity with purpose: set it once, and your commitment continues to empower women and communities’ month after month.

Whether it’s $10 or $100, your recurring gift strengthens our collective voice and ensures we remain a force for change in Washington State. Click here to get started!

DOES YOUR EMPLOYER MATCH?

Double the impact of your gift!

Do you know if your employer matches donations? Or matches volunteer hours?

Mostly likely they do, as 65% of Fortune 500 companies and 51% of Russell 1,000 public companies have matching gift programs for their employees…

Yet a significant portion of potential charitable matching dollars goes unclaimed.

Here’s how to unlock this potential:

  1. Search your employer here for free on Charity Navigator
  2. Apply online or ask your human resource department for help

Please note that the matching dollars will be allocated to the same purposes as the original gift. Here is a link to our Gift Acceptance Policy for more details.

Leave a Legacy

A gift in your will is a powerful way to carry our shared values forward.  

While the work we do today is transforming lives across Washington, legacy giving ensures that our vision—an intentional community of women of all backgrounds united in building a just, equitable, and thriving Washington—continues for generations to come. Your legacy affirms that collective action and thoughtful, trust-based philanthropy endure beyond a single moment in time. 

To make this process simple and accessible, we’ve partnered with FreeWill, a free, secure online platform that guides you step-by-step through creating a will or designating beneficiaries.  

These meaningful gifts can have a lasting impact and may help reduce unnecessary taxes—allowing more of your generosity to support the causes you care about most. 

Let us know if you have already made a gift to WaWF through your estate or if you have any questions at kim@wawomensfdn.org or (206) 844-2177.
