Women Give Taos is a Giving Circle of the Taos Community Foundation
The Women Give Taos Initiative asks women with power, in all its forms (financial, philanthropic, social, leadership, voice, influence and access to networks), to take action, step forward, join together in learning, and actively engage in strategic philanthropy. Countless studies have shown us that when women and girls thrive, so do communities, countries and the world as a whole.
Started in 2004, these funds were established as side-by-side endowment and intermediate funds with the vision of creating a philanthropic avenue for “the long term support of programs important to women and girls.” This initiative came together by pooling our resources, listening deeply to the needs of our community, and making careful and well planned investments.
We invite you to consider joining other women in the Women Give Taos initiative by making a commitment of $1,000 a year. Your contribution will pool with other women’s investments enabling YOU, the donor advisors, to have substantial funding for grants that can make a real difference in the lives of Women and Children in our community.
Women Give Taos’ future includes expanding our Advisor Circle, narrowing our focus on specific programs, providing donor advisors with interesting learning opportunities, and increasing our grant funding.
