Learn to give more wisely with lasting gifts that really make a difference.
Why do we teach philanthropy? We teach philanthropy to foster the next generation of philanthropists and community leaders and to promote the collective power of giving back to our community.
Through GO: Give Back, we teach philanthropy to children, providing them the tools to be thoughtful contributors to our community now and in the future. Through OPTIONS, we provide a forum in which women learn about community needs, personal philanthropy, and their role as leaders and philanthropists in central Indiana.

"I enjoyed so much of my experience with OPTIONS! I met women I would have never met, I learned about the great work that Women’s Fund does for our community and I had the opportunity to visit several agencies that I didn’t know about; at least not in detail. Being in the OPTIONS class has brought new friendships into my life as well as helped me realize that we all can do something to make our community better."
