What is Women United?
Women United is part of a global network of more than 70,000 women in 165 communities across six countries, all dedicated to improving lives and creating stronger communities.
Through Women United, Rappahannock United Way is bringing together local women who will fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our community. Women United members are donors who go above and beyond to invest their resources, time, and talent into addressing our community's critical issues. Using directed gifts, volunteerism, and issue-focused fundraising, these women will "lead the charge and inspire the change" right here in the Fredericksburg region.
How to Join
We invite you to join Women United and become a part of creating long-lasting change in our community. Women United membership is an annual gift of $1,000 to Rappahannock United Way. By making this investment, our members are helping us build a community that is hopeful, resilient, and self-sufficient.
To learn more about membership and your donation options, contact Ann Jones, Director of Resource Development.
By joining Women United, you will make a difference through volunteer opportunities, have opportunities to network and collaborate with key business and community leaders, and have the chance to learn about the key issues impacting our community.
