Why Join
A Commitment and Celebration
Women in Philanthropy (WIP) is a Phoenix-based 501(c)(4) fundraising organization founded on the belief that when women come together with shared purpose, extraordinary things happen for the children in their community.
Through collective giving, signature fundraising events, and direct volunteer service, our members translate commitment into measurable change. Every dollar raised and every hour volunteered goes directly toward bettering the lives of children throughout the Valley.

What We Ask of Each Member
These shared standards are what make our impact possible — and what make membership meaningful.
Fundraising Pledge
Each member raises $5,000 annually toward our beneficiary children’s charities. Together, our members’ collective giving creates impact that far exceeds what any one of us could accomplish individually.
Volunteer Service
Members contribute 25 volunteer hours annually at WIP signature events, in service of beneficiary partner organizations, or alongside fellow members throughout the Valley.

Submissions are reviewed by the WIP membership committee, and selected candidates will be notified.

Your Connection to the Mission
What draws you to Women in Philanthropy and its focus on supporting children's charities in Phoenix.
