Inside Women’s Legacy Fund

National Standards

Mission

The Women’s Legacy Fund of the Ventura County Community Foundation is a network of donors dedicated to advancing the status of women and girls in Ventura County.  Our efforts are focused on helping women and girls find ways to secure self sustaining, independent and meaningful lives.  We accomplish our mission through long term donor engagement, creating permanent endowments, effective grantmaking and strengthening partnerships

The Women’s Legacy Fund Ready for a new decade.

In 1995, a group of women pioneered a fund in Ventura County dedicated to helping women and girls by building a sustainable source of grantmaking.

Launched by 177 Founders, the Fund has raised over $1.5 million, with $838,564 in grants distributed to Ventura County nonprofits that directly impact the lives of women and girls.

Now, a new generation of leaders is focused on harnessing the power of philanthropy to address the causes that matter most to women today: economic empowerment, education opportunities for women and girls, strengthening the skills of those already in the workforce, providing the power that comes with knowledge and building lives of meaning and promise.
