About Women’s Leadership Council

The United Way Women’s Leadership Council (WLC), also known as Women United, isa global network of more than 70,000 women in 155 communities across six countries, all dedicated to improving lives and creating stronger communities. Nationally, these women make up the single most successful organization of its kind. Since its inception in 2002, the Women’s Leadership Council has raised more than $1 billion to drive real and lasting change. The contributions of these women leaders go well beyond financial donations: they get involved, shake things up and make a measurable difference in their own backyard and around the world. 

Women’s Leadership Council members speak up, unite and take action on issues that hit closest to home-by giving, advocating and volunteering. Members’ ages, ethnic backgrounds, professions and interests are diverse. The one common denominator is a belief in the power of community change: by working together to take on complex challenges, we all benefit. Beyond making an annual financial contribution, members invest their time, professional expertise and talent to advance causes they care passionately about, while connecting with other powerful, committed women in the community. 

The United Way Women’s Leadership Council aims to be the most recognized, esteemed and flourishing network of its kind, maximizing the contribution of women to the Council and their communities on all levels-local, national and global.
