We are a community of women seeking to transform lives in Arlington, Texas through high-impact and lifelong giving.

Strategic Giving for the Good of our Community

Our members combine annual donations to fund large grants, which are awarded in summer of each year to local organizations. 

"Women Inspiring Philanthropy is an amazing group of women who intentionally give back to the community by pooling their resources to make real magic happen for Arlington’s nonprofits with transformational grants and heightened visibility.”

– Beth Owens, WIP Member

"WIP serves our community in so many ways. Grants provided for cultural causes enrich us; whereas grants for social causes strengthen us. It's an honor for me to be part of a group whose sole purpose is the betterment of the city I've called home for the past 42 years."

– Teresa Gaines, WIP Member
