Volunteer

THE WOMEN'S FUND IS POWERED BY VOLUNTEERS.

We invite our members to become more involved with this dynamic group of women working together to build a stronger organization and a stronger community.

There are short-term opportunities to volunteer – such as working on a project or an event – or if you have more time to devote, we'd love you to join one of our committees. 

THE MORE WE DO – THE MORE WE CAN GIVE

By doing much of the work of running the Women's Fund of Santa Barbara ourselves our members are able to contribute more to the community. 

OUR COMMITTEES

The Women’s Fund operates through a committee structure. Select the committee’s name to meet its members.

We plan, coordinate, and manage all aspects of three types of events: The Ballot Review meeting (spring), Celebration of Grants (spring), and Grants in Action forums and site visits (fall).

We oversee all financial operations of the organization.
