Women Helping Youth is a philanthropic organization focused on improving the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of children and young adults in need within the Greater Los Angeles area. It operates by pooling individual donations of 1,000 and directing these funds through a grant process that identifies sustainable, tangible projects for consideration, with members voting on grant priorities and the distribution occurring at an annual luncheon. Based in Pacific Palisades, California, the group emphasizes collective giving as a means to increase impact beyond what individuals could achieve alone. Founded in 2006 by Jill Weintraub, Moira Tenzer, and Debbie Schermer, the organization maintains a small internal footprint and engages supporters through structured grant outreach and screening to ensure transparency in how funds are deployed.
