We are a community of women seeking to transform lives in Arlington, Texas through high-impact and life-long giving.
Strategic Giving for the Good of our Community
Our members combine annual donations to fund large grants, which are awarded in summer of each year to local organizations.
"Being part of WIP means to be apart of a group of women who want to make a difference, and know they can accomplish more together. I joined not only to get to know these inspirational women better, but also to stay up to date on the needs of Arlington.”
– Nadia DeStefano, WIP Member
"WIP serves our community in so many ways. Grants provided for cultural causes enrich us; whereas grants for social causes strengthen us. It's an honor for me to be part of a group whose sole purpose is the betterment of the city I've called home for the past 34 years."
– Teresa Gaines, WIP Member
