What is a Chapter

Polly Furgenson San Jose CA“DFW’s strength lies in the synergy that is created when friends gather to connect, to learn and to give, and in the power of this model when it is replicated over and over through our chapters in communities all over the world.” - Marsha Wallace


A DFW Chapter is group of women that:

  •  meets regularly in a variety of formats: lunch meetings, dinner meetings, getting together for coffee, at work, student chapters, etc
  •  donates to the designated program each month
  •  connects like-minded women
  •  learns about important issues affecting women and girls worldwide

 

Each DFW chapter operates semi-autonomously, yet has the built-in advantages of already-established nonprofit status, program research, and administrative support. The chapter members meet, learn about the program selected for the 
month, collect donations, and enjoy each other’s company. Start your own chapter now!

DFW is easy and fun!

Do you like getting together with your friends and having fun? Ever had a girls night out? Well, continue to enjoy what you are already doing add add the benefit of knowing that you are helping women world-wide at the same time!!!

All gifts are tax deductible to the extent the law allows, and 90% of your donations go to support programs for women.

Do chapters have to meet monthly?

Most of our chapters meet monthly. We now require our chapters to meet at least four times a year. Of course, we would love to have chapters meet every month, but we do understand how busy our lives are, and we want chapter members to be comfortable with how they arrange their schedules.
