WOMEN HELPING YOUTH is a women’s philanthropic organization committed to improving the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of children and young adults in need in the Greater Los Angeles area. OUR GOAL is to combine individual donations of $1,000 to create a larger pool of funds with which to make a difference in the lives of youth. BY ACTING TOGETHER, we will make a greater impact than we can by acting alone. Women Helping Youth was created in 2006 by Jill Weintraub, Moira Tenzer, and Debbie Schermer. It is a women’s philanthropic organization established to help children in need in the greater Los Angeles area. The concept is basic. Each member donates $1,000 annually. Through an extensive grant outreach and screening process, several potential grant recipients are identified. Ballots go out to our members in March asking that they rank the order in which they would like to see the pool of money awarded, which means members direct their donations. Based on those rankings, we award the money in May at our annual luncheon. By stipulating that the grants be used to fund tangible, sustainable projects in greater L.A., Women Helping Youth ensures that members and supporters know exactly where their money is going and are able to see their philanthropy in action. By combining our resources, we are able to make a larger impact than we can alone. We are successful because of the generosity of our members who believe in the power of community giving. With a goal to grow, so that each year we can touch the lives of more children in need, Women Helping Youth welcomes your membership and support. General Inquiries - info@womenhelpingyouth.org
