Friendship Fund

The Friendship Fund was established in 2013 to help our members and their communities in need.

On November 17, 2013, Washington, Illinois suffered from a devestating tornado.  From passing the hat at state meetings to matching funds, we raised over $400.00 to help Washington purchase flower bulbs to help beautify their community.

If you are an Illinois Women of Today member who knows of another member or community in need, please read the following guidelines and fill out the request form.  The form can be emailed to the State President for submission.

We do have some guidelines that have been put in place for this fund  They are as follows:

1.  The Friendship Fund shall be used to help any Illinois member, chapter or community in need.

2.  The Friendship Fund form must be completed by an Illinois Women of Today member.

3.  Any Illinois Women of Today member may request up to $200.00 per recipient with the proper form.

4.  The Friendship Fund form must be presented to the State President at least 30 days prior to the        

     date the member would like to donate the funds  This should allow for ample time for the State 

     President to review the form, have it approved by the State Board and check to be mailed to the 

     requestor.

5.  Maximum of three requests will be approved per Illinois Women of Today Calendar year (May 1st 

     to April 30th) depending on the availability of funds.

6.  One calendar year must pass before funds could be requested for the same recipient.  Up to 3 

     donations will be given to any recipient in a lifetime.
