History

Established in 2007.

Early in 2007, a steering committee formed to develop a Women’s Fund in our community. Their goal was to maximize the impact of women’s philanthropy.

One hundred and twenty eight Charter Members raised over $ 150,000, enabling the Women’s Fund to award $ 100,000 in grants to local organizations their first year.

In the following two years, continuing with a steady membership of over one hundred twenty members the Fund was able to award an additional $ 200,000 to six more nonprofits in the Tyler area.

Late in 2010 a website was established and in January of 2011, The Women’s Fund agreed to become a program of The Fourth Partner organization.
