Women in Philanthropy

Become a Member

Each membership makes the pillars of Women in Philanthropy possible. With your support, we are building community, celebrating service, and amplifying impact.

Each year, members nominate and select a deserving organization for a $15,000 Women in Philanthropy Grant.

WIP members will also honor and celebrate a distinguished Catholic woman philanthropist through the Love in Action Award.


Members must make their annual donation by February 28 to participate in the current year’s voting. If members choose to sponsor another member with a contribution, the sponsored member will get one (1) vote. To become a voting member, a woman must be 21 years of age.
