Charity

In 2003 eight energetic and passionate women created The Women's Fund, a philanthropic vehicle to raise funds that support women and girls in need.  Grants are directed toward programs which enhance the health, safety and educational well-being of Essex County women and girls.  Since its founding, the Women’s Fund has granted over $300,000 thanks to the generosity of women all across Essex County and corporate donations.
