Join. Women United in Philanthropy is a Collective Giving organization. The more you give, the more we can give. We have Individual Memberships starting at only $100/year. Corporate Membership and Underwriter options are also available. Click here to view our Membership page.
We are also actively looking for members to join one of our Committees.
Women United in Philanthropy was established by community women in partnership with United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area. United Way provides support services such as staffing, mailing, computer, telephone, and accounting for Women United in Philanthropy, but receives no contributions from WUP.
Giving to Women United in Philanthropy does not represent giving to United Way. United Way does not determine how WUP funds are spent. Only Women United Members can vote on funding decisions.
Women United in Philanthropy donations will establish and encourage the growth of the WUP Collective Fund, which supports human service needs of women and children in the City of Charlottesville and the surrounding Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Nelson, Greene, and Louisa. Members will research options on proposed uses of the Fund and will determine, by voting, allocation of the Fund.
No. Women United in Philanthropy gifts must go to the WUP Collective Fund. Our Grant Committee has a rigorous process to collect and review proposals from non-profits. Through financial review, on-site visits and committee engagement, the Grant Committee selects finalist organizations each year. The WUP Membership then determines, by voting, allocation of the Fund.
WUP benefits its Members as it benefits the community. Participants have the opportunity to:
