This was a special invitation for WF Power Illuminators, WomenWill donors, and/or WF board members to join an engaging discussion about our personal legacies.

We addressed such topics as 1.) what it means to create a legacy; 2.) tools available to create a legacy; or 3.) examples of goals people have related to their legacy.

Danila Danesi and Tiffany Cormona, both of JP Morgan, shared their ideas and expertise during this WF special session. Additionally, we heard a couple of stories from WomenWill donors.

    The Women’s Fund made a WF Flash Grant in September in support of this exhibit to help celebrate the Women’s Fund Brand Relaunch. The purpose of the exhibit is to spur thoughtful contemplation and spirited conversation. It highlights women artists, who examine their own lives and issues through fabric, as a result, we all have a chance to reflect on the issues each artist portrays, and ponder why textile art is viewed as “less than” other art forms.
