The Power of the 51%—Women Giving to Women
Syracuse, NY [October
12, 2012] – The Women’s Fund of Central New York is delighted
to announce its annual Fall Celebration. “The Power of the 51%—Women Giving to
Women” marks the power of women and their ability to create change through
charitable giving.
Guest
speaker Gregg Tripoli, president of the Onondaga Historical Association, will discuss
the history of women’s philanthropy in Central New York. He will also take a
close look at the lives of three very different women who got help at critical
times of their lives and, in turn, helped hundreds of thousands of others.
Speaking for the Women’s Fund, Aminy I.
Audi, Chief Executive Officer and President of L. & J.G. Stickley, will
describe how the original commitment of a few women in the Central New York
community makes a difference for people in need by growing an endowment that
today totals nearly a million dollars. Each year the Women’s Fund supports
local initiatives and programs with grants; in 2011, it gave grants totaling $24,000.
Ms. Audi will discuss a few of those projects as well as her own experiences as
a successful entrepreneur and founding member of the Women’s Fund.
