Wo(men) of Worth Campaign
This is the second decade of the Women’s Foundation of Arkansas. Building on the vision of our 100 founding women, and honoring this milestone, we are challenging 200 women from across the state to give $2000 to help make the women’s Foundation of Arkansas an even stronger organization that is able to positively impact the lives of more women and girls across our state.
Historically, women uniting for a common cause has brought great results. In this case, we can ensure that the women and girls of Arkansas – both in rural and urban communities – have every opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and guidance to build self-sufficiency and achieve success. The 100 women of the first decade made a personal statement about their own values by establishing the Women’s Foundation of Arkansas. They were driven by a desire to improve the state and improve the lives of women and girls living here. We, in the second decade, have the luxury of simply following their lead and continuing this great work.
Please take a moment and think about what making a gift to the Wo(men) of Worth Campaign can do for the women of Arkansas. In our first decade, the Women’s Foundation was able to give out almost $200,000 in grant money. By building the endowment, this campaign will give WFA the ability to provide more grant money to worthy organizations. Your gift will be split among three endowments and a small portion will go toward current operating expenses.
WFA Grant-making Endowment: 50% of Women of Worth Campaign gifts to ensure grant funds will be available in ever-increasing amounts in perpetuity
Joan R. Campbell Girls of Promise Endowment: 20% of Women of Worth Campaign gifts to ensure that the Girls of Promise program will continue to be provided for 8th grade girls in Arkansas
WFA Operating Endowment: 10% of Women of Worth Campaign gifts to ensure WFA will continue to operate in perpetuity
Current Operations: 20% of Women of Worth Campaign gifts to ensure that we keep the doors open and programs running while we build the endowments
If $2000 is not a good number for you, you may celebrate the second decade of the Women’s Foundation of Arkansas with a gift of $20, $200 (or even $20,000!) if you’d prefer. Donate now or complete a pledge form! Thank you for helping WFA have an even greater impact on the lives of our state’s women and girls in its second decade.
WFA is thankful for the growing number of women and men who have already become part of our Second Decade!
