WOMEN UNITED™

WOMEN UNITED™ is a global giving circle of 70,000+ women leaders in more than 165 communities dedicated to creating a world of opportunity for everyone. Since 2002, this exclusive female giving circle has raised and invested more than $1.7billion. WOMEN UNITED™ launched in Greater Victoria in 2018 and currently we have 52 members.

Vision:

To be a powerful force for social change, where women are key drivers of philanthropy in local communities, across the country and around the world through both giving and volunteering.

Membership and benefits:

Members have the opportunity to join a community of like-minded women who contribute their personal passions, best ideas, and unique strengths to the mission of building stronger communities.

Benefits of getting involved include volunteering time, expertise and talent; advocating for key community issues at the local level; networking and collaborating with key business and community leaders at exclusive events; and learning more about #UNIGNORABLE social issues facing our community.
