TESTIMONIALS

They know the organizations that are having great outcomes and making an impact on the community. They are good stewards of your funds. It certainly is one of the best places to invest.

Christy Brown, CEO Girl Scouts Wisconsin Southeast

I feel good that my gift can be spread out a bunch of different ways and be combined with other gifts so together we can make a difference and make an impact.

Sue Bellehumeur, Donor

Opportunity is everything and without this program I am not sure – I’d probably still just be thinking about going to college.

Martha Hubert, Paving the Path to College Participant

We became involved with the Women and Girls Fund after reading an article about how women in developing countries are not given the opportunity to perform to their full potential. They are therefore not participating fully in their economic, social or family growth. We quickly realized that women are an undervalued resource in Waukesha County as well.

Cathy and Steve Johnson, Donors

Together we are building a legacy and planting a seed that will go on far beyond my years here.

Tracy Josetti, Former Trustee

We have always focused our charitable giving on programs that support women’s and children’s issues. When we became involved with the Women & Girls Fund (WGF), we found an organization that not only meets our support criteria, but also acts as our partner.

Karie and Tom Stupek, New Hope Scholarship Donors
