🌟 Women’s Giving Council (WGC)

For visionary women committed to systemic change and collective action. Members serve two-year terms, provide strategic leadership, drive major fundraising initiatives, and help shape long-term organizational growth and sustainability.

Why Join?

✔️ Accelerated professional and leadership growth
✔️ Cross-industry networking with top leaders and philanthropists
✔️ Increased visibility and influence across media and events
✔️ Direct, measurable impact on the lives of children and families across NYC

This is your opportunity to join a growing movement, standing at the frontlines of change alongside a community dedicated to equity, healing, and transformation.
