Community Building
The Metrowest Women's Fund invests in women and girls through community building. We have big goals – matching the resources in our community with those in need. Only 1.9% of all philanthropic giving is dedicated to issues of women and girls. Metrowest women and girls need us to come together and invest in the community. Join us as we build strategic partnerships and a community of donors.
No gift is too small - or too big!*

Focus areas include Educational Opportunity, Girls: Our Next Generation, and Safety from Violence.
