Join the Leadership Circle
The Leadership & Legacy Circle for Girls and Women was formed in 2000 to honor and thank donor-partners for their active investment in creating a world of equal opportunity where women, girls, and all people hold the power to create and lead safe, prosperous lives.
How to Join
With an annual gift of $1,000 or more, you join a group of passionate and committed donors as a member of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota’s Leadership Circle. Receive invitation-only benefits, including the annual Leadership & Legacy Circle Luncheon, which celebrates the generosity and commitment of donor-partners like you. We are grateful for Leadership Circle donor-partners and celebrate your commitment to women and girls in Minnesota.
