THE WORLD
   

Women’s Philanthropy (WP) is an empowered and socially conscious community of inter-generational women who are inspired and engaged through the Jewish traditions of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tzedakah (doing justice) while building community. The group’s social, educational, volunteer, and fundraising events provide women the opportunity to connect, develop leadership skills and financially support the Jewish community both here and abroad. WP is run by Executive and Regional Board Members.
