Community Foundation of Burke County

5
Operating under the auspices of the Community Foundation of Burke County, the Burke Women’s Fund was created in 2009 by a group of 15 women. The Burke Women’s Fund aspires to connect all parts of our community and to bring a diverse group of women together around substantive issues relating to women and families.

The vision of the Burke Women’s Fund is to:
• advance the power of collective giving among Burke County women
• empower women in meaningful and purposeful ways
• gain a deeper understanding of the issues that affect women and families in
our community
• provide impactful financial support which improves the quality of life for all

The pooled resources of the Burke Women’s Fund will be given back to the community in grants for causes affecting women and families.

Membership includes:
• an investment of $365 a year—a dollar a day—for three years (of that
amount, $35 will be devoted to a permanent endowment, $30 to
administrative costs, and $300 to grants)
• a vote on prospective grant recipients
• an annual gathering to honor grant recipients and members
• local educational programs

You are invited to join the Burke Women’s Fund to inspire, educate and encourage
women to effect change in Burke County through philanthropy.
