Building Power. Shaping the Future.
When you invest in Women’s Fund SouthCoast, you invest in more than one program or one moment.
Your support helps move resources into communities, turn data and stories into action, strengthen community-rooted organizations, develop leaders, and advance the policy and systems change needed for lasting progress.
For more than 26 years, donors, partners, volunteers, and community leaders have made this work possible.
“I give to the Women’s Fund because I see the difference they make — not just for one person, but for generations.”

Legacy Giving
Plan a Gift that Endures
Name the Women’s Fund SouthCoast as a Beneficiary
Include Women’s Fund SouthCoast in your will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy to extend your impact for generations to come.“I included WFSC in my plans because I believe every young woman deserves the same chance I had — and more.”
Give from Your Retirement Account (QCDs)
If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA — a simple, tax-efficient way to give.
Life Insurance and Annuities
You may designate WFSC as a beneficiary or transfer ownership of an existing policy to create a lasting gift that uplifts women and girls.

Recommending a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund is an easy and impactful way to support our mission.

The Bettina Borders Leadership Circle
Join a Circle of Changemakers
Named for the Honorable Bettina Borders — retired judge, advocate, and founding champion of gender justice — this circle brings together donors who invest deeply in lasting change.
A lifetime gift of $10,000 or more connects members to special gatherings, briefings, and opportunities to shape our shared vision for equity.
“Being part of this circle connects me to the heart of our community — and to a movement bigger than any one of us.”
Make an Endowed Gift
Endowed gifts ensure your commitment to equity endures beyond a single moment.
Part of your gift supports current programs — leadership development, advocacy, and grantmaking — while the remainder is invested through our gender-lens strategy to generate lasting impact.
Women and Girls Can’t Wait — The Next Chapter
More than a decade ago we launched Women and Girls Can’t Wait, a campaign that helped seed our endowment and strengthen our region’s movement for equity.
Today, that call still guides us.
We are now preparing the next chapter — a renewed effort to grow our endowment and ensure this movement thrives for generations to come. Your endowed gift today helps lay the foundation for what’s next — invested through our gender-lens strategy to drive change that lasts.
“We can’t wait for someone else to create change — we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
