17th Annual Luncheon Celebration: Reemerge. Recommit. Reimagine.

Wednesday, November 16 • 12:00 to 1:30 PM • Benton Convention Center

Celebrate the Power of Collective Giving

Together, we celebrated the power of women’s collective giving and continued to take action to ensure all local women and girls have the resources and opportunity to chase their dreams and lead prosperous lives. Over the past few years, we all have endured significant challenges. Yet through it all, we’ve seen steadfast volunteerism, civic engagement, and philanthropy. Our members, volunteers, and grantees are engaged, showing up in our work stronger than ever, and eager to serve the needs of our community more deeply.

After two years of celebrating virtually, we were thrilled to be able to gather in person on November 16th, 2022! Through the power of collective giving made possible by our incredible members, The Women’s Fund of Winston-Salem awarded ten grants at our Seventeenth Annual Luncheon Celebration. With a mission to build economic security for women and girls in Forsyth County, The Women's Fund surpassed $2 million in grant support to organizations working to improve the lives of women and girls in our communities.
