Who We Are
The Women United Giving Council of Chicago Foundation for women grew out of the unification of the African American, Asian American and Latina Leadership Councils that led grantmaking in their communities from the early 2000s through 2013. Together, we continue to meaningfully invest in women and girls of color. Through individual donations and fundraising efforts, we award grants annually to organizations serving these communities.
We are rebuilding, and will be recruiting for members in 2020 for the next fiscal year, July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021. Please let us know you are interested in receiving updates on the Council and information about membership when it becomes available.
