Our donors have found many innovative ways to give to The Fund. If you are looking for an 'out of the box' method of supporting our work, one of these innovative ways to give might appeal to you.

Host a Friendraiser : Help introduce The Women's Fund to more women in town by hosting a house party in your home or a location of your choice. By participating in this unique way, you can introduce The Fund to many new individuals and widen our circle of friends in different communities! If you are interested, please contact Nichole E. Dunn, President & CEO, by calling 614.225.9926.

Honor a special day, event or person in your life with a tribute gift. Any gift to The Women's Fund can be made in honor or in memory of someone special. Contact the office for a copy of a tribute booklet to use to recognize special people or events in your life.

Happy Birthday: Throw yourself a birthday party, and in lieu of gifts, ask your guests to make a contribution to The Women's Fund. This innovative manner of giving opens the doors of The Fund to new donors and opens the doors wider for some of our current donors. This type of ambassadorship is such a great show of support, and truly welcomes other constituents into our family of women.

Group Gifts: Helen Keller once said, "Alone we can do so little. Together, we can do so much." This inspirational quote encompasses the spirit of the group gift-a unique way for small group of people to have the large philanthropic impact on an organization. By giving as a unit, whether as a book club, a doctor's office staff, a professional association, or as a special group of friends, you can collectively choose to make a gift to an organization that gives a voice to your group's values.

Shop for a Cause: If you are a retail business owner, you can help your customers shop for a cause! The Women's Fund will work with you to invite your customers and friends of The Fund to visit your store on a designated evening or weekend. Your patrons will feel great knowing that a portion of the proceeds from their sales will be donated to The Women's Fund.

In-Kind Gifts: Since our founding, The Women's Fund has been generously supported with the time and talent of many Central Ohio women. These in-kind gifts are invaluable to our success. In-kind services can include donations of materials, professional services, and hosting events.

Feeling inspired? Contact Nichole E. Dunn, President & CEO at 614.225.9926 or info@womensfundcentralohio.org to discuss any of these innovative ways to give or any other creative ideas you may have to support The Women's Fund.
