The Women’s Fund of El Paso provides scholarships to low and  moderate-income single mothers and other women to promote their educational and economic advancement and leadership development.

The Women’s Fund of El Paso promotes affordable philanthropy for all women by creating giving circles 
and women-centered fundraising events that encourage creativity and connectivity.  

The Women’s Fund of El Paso provides networking opportunities for women through its website and on-line links to women and information.

History

The Women’s Fund of El Paso was founded in 2004 after a study entitled “El Paso Portraits: Women’s Lives, Potential and Opportunities” was completed to assess the state of women in El Paso. The study found a great disparity of income and education among women in El Paso, including 38,000 single mothers. The study became a call to action and the Women’s Fund of El Paso was established to connect women with resources available in the community and offer educational advancement and leadership development opportunities.

Accomplishments

As an all-volunteer organization, the Women’s Fund has been able to make a measurable impact on the lives of women in the El Paso community. Our signature event, Power or the Purse, has helped us raise funds to award over $200,000 in educational scholarships to UTEP, EPCC, Maternidad La Luz and other training programs in El Paso; $15,000 in leadership development scholarships; and $10,000 in giving circles for education and leadership development.
