Women Building Community Endowment

 

Our goal is to build an endowment of at least $250,000.  Grants are made every year to area projects and organizations that impact the lives of women and children in Brazoria County.  The Endowment will give back to the community in perpetuity. 

 

Members commit to donating $5,000 over a period of 5 years to build the Women Building Community Endowment.  Friends also support the organization with time, talent, and treasure. 

 

WBC is a vehicle for philanthropy and a catalyst for positive changes in the lives of women, children and in the communities of Brazoria County.  Women Building Community was founded in 2003 at the Community Foundation of Brazoria County.
