Founders and Advocates of the Women’s and Girls’ Fund have a special impact on the lives of women and girls in Kern County. Their gifts of cash and securities have rapidly built our endowment to provide more than $650,000 through 51 competitive grants to the nonprofit community as of October 2023. Our endowment has grown to support up to $80,000 in community grants each year.

Founders and Advocates are invited to assist with each year’s grantmaking process.
