The Women's Club Foundation
The Women's Club Foundation is the nonprofit, tax exempt arm of The Women's Club. It was organized in 2010 after years of preparation for the purpose of promoting various charitable activities in Washington County, Maryland.
Our main charitable purpose is providing low cost housing for women in our community.
The Foundation also applies for grants and has been the beneficiary of grant money from the Rotary Foundation, the Gaming Commission of Washington County, and the Mary K. Bowman Trust among others.
