Our Mission

Idaho Women’s Charitable Foundation fosters educated philanthropy through collaboration, pooled resources and individual giving to positively impact the community.

“I think of philanthropy as the glue that binds our community together and builds a strong foundation for future progress – IWCF is very good at applying that glue.”

~ Alice Hennessey

“I love being part of an organization of women who strive to be as effective as possible in their giving, who are dedicated to life-long learning about philanthropy, and who dream big about the kind of impact we can have in Idaho.”

~ Deb Holleran

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement

We believe diversity encompasses the whole human experience: culture, skills, education, economic status, age, race, gender identity, sexual identity, abilities, religion, life experiences and more. These result in the unique perspectives and differences that, when used collectively, can amplify IWCF’s impact. Inclusion is crucial to our work and helps us better understand, connect with, and serve our community. We listen to our members and community nonprofits, aspire to eradicate barriers to success, and recognize our role in creating more equitable opportunities in membership and grant giving so our Idaho communities thrive.
