Support GFWC

The Campaign for the Future has been established to secure and sustain the property and programming of the Federation and is intended to stimulate philanthropic activity and financial planning that will encourage members and their families to leave a legacy that supports the great works, time honored traditions, and future efforts of our clubs and clubwomen around the globe.

The purpose of the 1734 Society is to ensure the preservation of GFWC Headquarters, a National Historic Landmark. By joining in the 1734 Society you maintain the structural integrity of this historic building which continues to serve as a vital center for women’s issues and outreach. Built in 1875, the building is a residence to the International President during her administration, serves as professional office space, and houses the GFWC Women’s History and Resource Center.

The GFWC Disaster Relief—Library Replenishment Fund assists in restocking the collections of public and public school libraries that have been affected by natural and manmade disasters.

This fund is an ongoing collection connected to GFWC clubs’ long history of founding, maintaining, and promoting libraries and literature. Grants are provided to GFWC clubs to help replenish affected libraries in their communities. GFWC will collect donations from individual members, clubs, State Federations, and other interested organizations, which will be used to provide grants and in-kind donations.

Your donation will be used to preserve and maintain GFWC’s Collections of Documents, Books, Oral History, Art, Pottery, Needlework, Music, and Artifacts; facilitate research by making the Collections more accessible through cataloging and digitizing; continue to build the WHRC’s research library of publications on women’s history; and help the WHRC engage in outreach activities to members, educators, students, and others who are interested in learning more about the history of GFWC and women volunteers. Donate
