Our Impact
Since Capital Women in Philanthropy began in 2007, members have collectively contributed over $827,000 to advance patient care, enhance programs and expand community outreach efforts through CWP’s Annual Grant Program. The annual Grant Program, a major initiative of Capital Women in Philanthropy, provides vital funding to enhance Capital Health’s existing programs and services, and to seed new initiatives.
Every spring, CWP members and guests gather for the Circle of Care Reception. This special evening gives our grant recipients an opportunity to share the projects that are funded through the Grant Program. These informative presentations highlight the impact of our collective support on improving quality of life for patients, their families and caregivers.
The generous spirit of our community becomes more integral to our mission of bringing leading-edge care and compassionate programs to patients, their families, and our community.
