receptions, Coffees and Laundry nights

Our WF gatherings are focused on advancing equity for women, building community and making connections

Laundry Night | February 26, 2024

In February we held our second WF Laundry Night at Edith Cocktail Bar. Wow! What a beautiful space. And boy did the conversation flow. We had incredible conversations and a few eye-opening moments at Milwaukee’s only Black, woman-owned cocktail bar. If you’re passionate about advancing women’s rights, make sure to pencil in an upcoming, can’t miss night. They’re held on the last Monday of every month >> https://womensfundmke.org/calendar/

A Home-Hosted Coffee Connector | January 18, 2024

Our executive director, Lisa Attonito, attended a coffee connector hosted by Rotarian Pat Algiers in her new “Live, Work, Paint” home studio in Fox Point.

Safe Space and Action | July 26, 2022

In light of the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in June, this was a chance to be together, better understand the landscape post Roe, and most importantly, to discuss what actions we can take that have impact in the moment, and for the future. A soft ask of support for the WF Flash Grant program was made, as we have a matching gift challenge generously offered by Annette Jacobson… it is a 2 for 1 match!

Special thanks to Nicole Horvath and Karen Maroda for underwriting the reception. Speakers included: Michelle Velasquez, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and Christine Donahoe, ACLU Wisconsin.
