What is the Women's Fund?
The Women's Fund, established 2004, is a permanent endowment under the administration of the Fond du Lac Area Foundation. The Women's Fund provides opportunities for donors to create, promote, and support programs, that help Fond du Lac area women and girls manage and enhance their lives.

Why was the Women's Fund established?
Women's issues affect communities in many ways. Women play a vital role in their families and in the impact of the community. Just 6.5% of philanthropic dollars in the United States support programs and services specially designed for women and girls. The Women's Fund strengthens the lives of men, women, and children in the Fond du Lac area by supporting programs in our community that positively impact the lives of women.

How is the Women's Fund different from other community programs for women?
The Women's Fund is not a program. The endowment fund provides financial support for a wide variety of programs. Donantions to the general fund address the most pressing needs within our community. Donors may also establish funds to support specific issues or programs that affect the lives of women and girls.
