OPTIONS Alumnae
Women who participated in OPTIONS and continue their engagement with Women's Fund
Thirteen classes of 297 women have participated in OPTIONS, including the current class. OPTIONS Alumnae (OA) members meet regularly throughout the year and many hold leadership roles through the Women's Fund Advisory Board and committees, as well as with grantee organizations. To stay engaged as an OA member, a minimum annual donation of $250 is required, and an increased contribution from the previous year is encouraged. To get a feel for the impact of this program, and to meet some of the faces of OPTIONS, view the OPTIONS Tenth Anniversary video featuring women from each of the first ten classes.
OPTIONS Alumnae Lifetime Membership
Past participants of OPTIONS may become OPTIONS Alumnae Lifetime Members with cumulative gifts totaling at least $5,000 since their class participation. Lifetime Members may have access to special opportunities in addition to OPTIONS Alumnae member events. Lifetime Members are encouraged to stay involved as a Women's Fund donor, but are not be required to make an additional annual contribution of $250.
