THE WOMEN'S FUND OF ESSEX COUNTY is a community of women, families and businesses dedicated to providing transformative life skills and op- portunities for women and girls. All volunteers, we pour heart and soul into our work. We work to educate our communities on the need, leverage their donations across a range of issues, and partner with the agencies whose programming is making a signicant impact on the lives of women and girls. We focus at the com- munity level because we believe that the most sustainable social change begins at the local level; needs are more readily identied, we can have a more personal connection with our population served, and the results of our funding is more evident enabling our community to share in accountability and success. "Our vision is to empower all women and girls to reach their full potential. Investing in women and girls sparks a chain reaction: stronger women build stronger families; stronger families result in stronger communities; stronger communities raise the qual- ity of life for all," says Susan Barry, advisory board president. "We invite our donors to be a part of this 'movement for change.'" To date, the organization has awarded $630,000 to more than 75 programs oered by Essex County non-prot agencies, touching the lives of hundreds of women and girls of all ages and their families. Our fundraising events are celebrations of the collective power of women's philan- thropy. Our popular Annual Grant Awards Luncheon, held in the fall, motivates and inspires as we share in the success stories of many of our grant recipients. Our "Power of the Purse" event, held in the spring, is a spirited evening of raes and is inspired by the Victor Hugo quote, "As the purse is emptied, the heart is lled."
