WHY WOMEN?
A powerful philanthropic force – women are more likely to both give, and give more across almost every charitable subsector. Throughout the years, the power of our women leaders remains irrefutable – today women are making a deeper and broader difference in their communities.
WHAT WE DO?
Women United members leverage their time, talent, and resources to empower women in our community to build strong independent lives. Women United is a powerful force for social change, where women are key drivers of philanthropy in Halton & Hamilton through both giving and volunteering.
