WellSisters' Philanthropic Alliance

The WellSisters Philanthropic Alliance, as part of The Well Initiative Women's Association, exemplifies a women's giving circle—a model of participatory philanthropy. A portion of membership fees contributes to a shared fund, allowing our supporting members to collaboratively support women-led or women-impacted causes aligned with our mission, through an annual vote on resource distribution from this shared fund. This collaborative approach empowers women in The Well Initiative community, nurturing skill enhancement, while deepening their appreciation for shared impact.

Additionally, non-members are welcomed to contribute to the organization’s charitable efforts,

supporting the collective power of women philanthropists.
