In a time when division seems to be the norm, Zoe Lawhorn, president of the Women’s Fund of Smith County, believes in the power of coming together. She emphasizes that despite the current polarized state of the nation, there is still more that connects us than divides us. The Women’s Fund, a collective giving circle of over 360 women, focuses on shared values and beliefs, rather than differences.
Since 2009, the Women’s Fund has granted over $3.2 million to 34 Smith County nonprofits, making a significant impact on the community. By remaining united in their mission to enrich the lives of women and children through impact grants, members of the Women’s Fund have supported various projects that benefit those in need. They believe in the power of philanthropy and giving back to the community to improve the lives of others.
Lawhorn encourages individuals to seek out circles of like-minded people who are committed to making a positive difference in their community, rather than getting caught up in partisan divides. By focusing on common ground and shared goals, the Women’s Fund has been able to achieve remarkable results and support important initiatives.
For those interested in joining the Women’s Fund of Smith County and becoming part of a group dedicated to making a difference, more information can be found on their website at www.womensfundsc.org. Lawhorn’s message serves as a reminder that by working together and staying focused on shared values, positive change can be achieved, even in a divided world.
