How You Can Donate

Please join the proud group of people who are the founding force behind the Women's Fund of the Capital Region: the Founding 500! Each member of the Founding 500 contributes $500 or more to support the work of the Women's Fund. Donations of less than $500 are also welcome. Monthly or quarterly payment plans are available.

Donations to the Women's Fund are eligible for the Bank of America Matching Gifts Program, the Key Foundation Matching Gifts Program (KeyBank), and the GE Foundation Matching Gifts Program. If your company has a matching program, please contact us and we can find out whether or not the Women's Fund is eligible.

Another way to donate is through a planned gift. Women in our nation have a strong history of leaving legacies that affect future generations. With a little planning now, the difference we can all make will be profound. The Women’s Philanthropy Institute suggests the following:

1. Ask yourself: “What two or three things mean the most to me?”
2. Then ask: “What values do I want to pass on to the next generation?”
3. And lastly ask: “Who can help me pass those values down?”

For more information on how to do this, contact Kristen Frederick, President/CEO of the Community Foundation for the Capital Region – the endowment-building arm of The Women’s Fund – directly at (518) 446-9638.

Thank you for your personal commitment to promoting women's financial independence and creating opportunities for girls in our region.

By working together, we can achieve the impossible: moving mountains to ensure a safer, brighter future for women and girls.
