What We Do

Investing in Women and Children in Our Community


Women in Philanthropy, in collaboration with the United Way of the Midlands and the Central Carolina Community Foundation, is part of a larger national movement of women taking the activist role of philanthropy to seek long-term solutions through leadership, community investment, fundraising, advocacy and mentoring.  It is one of 100 similar organizations enthusiastically working toward a collective goal of raising more than 100 million in the next two years. We make annual grants through the United Way and CCCF request for proposal (RFP) processes. 

We do our work through a committee structure.  Each committee has a Chair and members who have volunteered for the positions.  Work by these committees is approved by the Executive Committee.
