The Women’s Fund is a way for women to pool their monies to make a significant impact on San Juan Island.

Women’s Fund organizations nationwide bring women of all ages and experiences together who share an interest in making their communities better places to live now and in the future. It was planned to minimize structure and time obligations of members, and is a Pooled Donor Advised Fund held at the San Juan Island Community Foundation.

The first 13 years were extremely successful, granting more than $175,000 from memberships, matching grants and donations in honor of friends and family. An annual commitment of $100 or more is required. Women’s Fund is combining and building its resources to enable it to continue making a positive impact. Ninety percent of its member contributions go toward bettering the quality of life for those who live on the island.
