We are Creating an Awareness of the Needs of Women and Children in the CSRA.
Women in Philanthropy is a charitable organization with approximately 200 women in the Central Savannah River Area of Georgia and South Carolina who are committed to a philanthropic effort focused on the unique needs of women and children within the local communities.
About the Women in Philanthropy for the CSRA
Each year, grants are awarded to non-profit programs and projects that have the potential for high impact, resulting in significant positive change in the lives of women and children in Aiken, Burke, Columbia, Edgefield, McDuffie or Richmond Counties. As members of WIP, we all recognize that there are tremendous needs in our communities. However, through our work, we have been collectively struck by the enormity of those needs. Of the many requests received in the 2023-2024 cycle, Women in Philanthropy awarded $170,588 to twelve area non-profit organizations. While we strive to continue this increase annually, the more women who realize the significant work of WIP, the greater our impact will be.
