STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH
PHILANTHROPY, LEADERSHIP, AND VOLUNTEERISM.
Women United is a premier women’s organization for strengthening the community through philanthropy, leadership, and volunteerism while creating a meaningful sense of belonging.
We need YOU!
Ideal candidates for Women United are engaged community members and professionals with a passion to serve their communities. Members have the freedom to invest their time, professional expertise, and talent to advance the causes they care passionately about while also having the opportunity to connect, network, and learn from other committed, like-minded women.
Women United Makes Their First Donation!
In December of 2022, members of Women United presented their first donation to Riverview Center!
Riverview Center is a nonprofit agency committed to providing compassionate, client-centered care for individuals affected by sexual assault and for individuals affected by sexual and domestic violence in Illinois. Riverview Center provides sexual assault services in a 14 county Northeast Region of Iowa, as well as sexual and domestic violence services in Jo Daviess and Carroll Counties in Illinois. Riverview Center is a safe space and their services are free regardless of biological sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, immigration status, English proficiency, race and/or ethnicity, incarceration status, disability, or background.
Join Us!
Cocktails & Connections are our quarterly gatherings where we come together to raise funds for Jo Daviess county nonprofits.
Each member brings their quarterly donation & nominates a local nonprofit organization that provides human service programs & services to Jo Daviess county.
All nominations are put into a bowl & 3 are pulled at random to deliver a short presentation of what their organization does.
After the presentations, Women United members vote to determine who will be awarded that quarter's funds.
Cocktails & Connections on March 7, 2023
There are a variety of ways for members to participate. Some serve on committees, some participate in volunteer activities or attend meetings and socials, or others take on lead roles in planning and events.
