The Women’s Giving Alliance, an initiative of The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, is a dynamic group of diverse women who pool their philanthropic giving to make a lasting impact on the lives of women and girls in Northeast Florida. Since 2001, hundreds of women in Northeast Florida have become WGA Members, most making an annual contribution of $1,500 each. Through those contributions, WGA has awarded grants totaling more than $10 million to 80 nonprofit organizations. It also has built an endowment of $6.1 million to ensure the future of its philanthropic work. For more information: www.wganefl.org.
