The Destiny Fund
The Destiny Fund of the Atlanta Women’s Foundation (AWF) provides an opportunity for education and leadership development for a diverse group of women, between the ages of 25 and 40, who are emerging philanthropists.
Involvement in The Destiny Fund is unlike participation in any other group. Members meet many of the dynamic women associated with the Atlanta Women’s Foundation, participate in the Destiny Fund granmaking initiative, connect with other women from all walks of life, and explore the critical issues facing women and girls.Participation in The Destiny Fund Alumnae Program provides opportunities for further leadership development, and greater involvement with The Atlanta Women’s Foundation.
At the end of participation in The Destiny Fund’s course, members will be more informed about the challenges facing women and girls, and armed with the knowledge, commitment and resources to make a significant difference. Graduates of the program are asked to remain active in The Destiny Fund and to make a three-year pledge as alumnae of The Destiny Fund.
