Women’s Initiative mobilizes and networks women to be leaders, philanthropists, and advocates on issues concerning women and children.
Since 2001, this passionate network has raised and invested more than $2 million into programs like WordShop and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Lucas County.
Today, Women’s Initiative proudly supports the Family & Child Abuse Prevention Center, continuing its mission to create lasting change through collective action and philanthropy.
We are always looking for people who are passionate about our community to get involved. Learn about opportunities to contribute to our work below.
