Dear Women's Fund members,

As demonstrations continue, we are painfully reminded that there is much work to be done, that racism denies opportunity and equal justice in our communities.

While the Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan organization, we are 1,100 women who work together because we care about the well-being of our community. For 16 years, the nonprofit partners we’ve supported have worked tirelessly to meet critical needs - delivering life-changing services and opportunities to our most vulnerable neighbors. We remain committed to our mission and to the values of inclusion, equity and equal access to opportunity.

As leaders, we commit to listen more. To learn more. To be part of the local conversation to bring about change.

With respect,

Board of Directors
Women's Fund of Santa Barbara
