Women’s Initiative Fund
Women Helping Women
The Women’s Initiative Fund is a permanent endowment, established in 1993 at the Connecticut Community Foundation to support innovative programs that improve the quality of life of women and children in our region.
Co-founders Kay Campbell and Peggy Lawlor recruited dozens of area women to establish the fund. Since then hundreds of people have contributed to the fund with their money and their time – forming a giving circle that continues to grow.
