| There is nothing more rewarding than sharing your talents, enthusiasm and energy with an organization that you believe in. On top of that, you are meeting and working with a group of committed, dynamic women. The Women's Fund is looking for volunteers, like you, to become involved at various levels of our organization. Are you creative? Industrious? Detail-oriented? Organized? An idea generator? Do you love to speak? To write? To record notes? You can devote as little or as much time as suits your schedule. Consider helping out with a one-time event or becoming involved on a more regular basis. There is something for everyone. Your gift of time will truly make a difference in the lives of other women and girls in the Oneida and Herkimer County area. |

| Finance More information coming soon. |
| Grants The goal of the Grants Committee is to continue to build our endowment to further the mission of The Women's Fund. This committee oversees the grant making process by soliciting proposals to identify potential projects for funding and to make recommendations to the Board for grants to be funded. The committee monitors funded projects, receives and reviews fund reports and evaluates the results of funded grants. |
| Public Relations The vision of the Public Relations/Communications committee is to create awareness and name recognition of The Women's Fund throughout Oneida and Herkimer counties and beyond! Our Mission is to share the initiatives of The Women's Fund with the residents of Oneida and Herkimer Counties in order to attract resources in support of The Women’s Fund Mission. |
| Status of Women To establish a clear picture of the status of women and girls in our community, this committee studies the specific needs and resources available to assist them. The Status of Women committee has developed a report based on a three-year research project which provides a more in-depth look at women and girls in our two counties. With this knowledge, The Women's Fund is able to direct resources to organizations that fill these gaps and enhance the well-being of women and girls. |
