The WINGS (Women in the Giving Spirit) Charitable Fund
WINGS, one of the Fredericksburg area's earliest established and most effective women's giving organizations, created a new charitable giving fund at The Community Foundation in January 2019. The new fund is a permanently endowed charitable asset that will support local girls and women in perpetuity.
“We are honored to help carry on the legacy of the many generous and hard-working women who built WINGS and made it such an asset for our community,” said foundation Executive Director, Teri McNally.
All proceeds from this fund will be used for grants to nonprofits that advance the lives of local girls and women and distributed through The Women and Girls Fund of The Community Foundation.
Anyone can help honor the WINGS legacy and support the work of the fund.

About Designated Funds
A Designated Fund enables a donor to invest in the precise cause or community issues that they care most about.
When you set up a Designated Fund with the foundation, you define its specific charitable purpose, even its beneficiaries, at the fund’s inception. Designated Funds are strongly focused: once you have thoughtfully determined the way you want to structure your fund, grants will be distributed in perpetuity.
The Community Foundation administers the fund without significant change based on the donor's initial instructions. When a grant is made, the foundation monitors how the funds are used to ensure that the use fulfills your charitable goals.
