Our Mission
The mission of Women’s Fund is to empower women philanthropists by creating opportunities to fund programs that will develop the full potential of local women and children. Since its establishment in 1997, the Women’s Fund has provided funds to 62 local agencies. Some of the projects supported include: Energy Payment Assistance for Single Moms, Project Fresh Clothes, Boys & Girls Club Programs and Meals on Wheels for Senior Women.
Our Philosophy
The Women’s Fund of Portage County is a donor advised fund within the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin and is a collaborative initiative of St. Michael’s Foundation, the Stevens Point Area YMCA Foundation and the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin.
Our vision is that the fund be sufficiently capitalized to make a difference in the lives of women and children in Portage County.
The goals of the Women’s Fund of Portage County include granting funds and offering assistance to nonprofit organizations that foster opportunities for the economic, educational, physical, emotional, social, artistic and/or personal growth of Portage County women and children of all ages, cultures, nationalities, races and abilities and increasing community awareness of the significant needs of women and children.
