I always wanted to make a bigger impact in my community and other communities of color. I couldn't do it by myself, so the dream of one became the dream of many and we are in it together.

Women of Color Making a Difference represents the kind of purpose-driven work that is most meaningful to me. The opportunity to positively impact our community through philanthropic efforts, alongside like-minded women who share a passion for service, is both fulfilling and inspiring. This work is not only rewarding, but essential. Our collective commitment is clear: We are strengthening and transforming our communities through intentional philanthropy, unity, and compassion.

Cleo Rauchway

I believe in the transformative power of philanthropy not just for the beneficiaries but also for the donors.  Being asked to give of one’s time, talent, and treasure is empowering and validating--it's being told you have something of value and that your time and opinion matter.  Giving circles like WOCMAD draw on the invaluable resources of people of color to invest in their own communities, and I look forward to growing our giving circle for years to come.

Joy Roberts

To be part of something that actually makes a difference. When we put our resources together and give on purpose, we help people in communities of color see and access opportunities.​​​​​​​​​​
