This was a year of exciting changes as we prepare for the next chapter in the Fund’s
history. We continue to focus on our core mission, developing meaningful programs
and initiatives that impact the lives of women and girls in our county. We honor the
many accomplishments of outgoing Founding President Heidi McPherson and look
forward to new leadership as we strengthen our commitment to serving the diverse

Our focus on educating the public on the needs of our population has enabled
the Fund to expand our influence this year. A number of Connection Events, the
Women Talk series, and agency workshops have strengthened our collaborative
outreach to the stakeholders who share the Fund’s vision of a community where
women and children have the opportunity and tools to live secure and successful lives.
Our award- winning girls grantmaking program extends the reach of the Fund in
developing the next generation of business, community, and philanthropic leaders.

8th Annual
Making a
Difference
Luncheon
‘‘
Insp
In
s iratio
on
each year the making a difference luncheon grows in size and popularity. Coming from across the
Philadelphia region, generous corporate and individual sponsors, along with enthusiastic attendees,
overwhelm the Fund with their incredible passion and support for our mission. In 2013, keynote
speaker dr. darlyne Bailey challenged us to expand our understanding of empathy and act with
boldness on our convictions.
Kitchen table award
Mrs. J. Maxwell “Betty” Moran was the recipient of this year’s Kitchen
Table Award, named after the spirited conversations around kitchen
tables, board tables, and coffee tables that created and built the Fund.
“There are so many families who need a warm home, love, care
and attention. The Chester County Fund for Women and Girls
has such a worthwhile purpose in Chester County. The Fund not
only helps provide this, they let others know about the needs…
Women in families often do so much for the young and for their
own children. When women are supported, it benefits families.”
— mrs. J. maxwell moran
Kitchen Table Award Honoree
It was apparent to me
through my time in GAB,
not only will there always
be an opportunity to
improve the community
around you, if you want to
call yourself a member of
that community, you have
an obligation to help.”
— lindsay Hudson
Girls Advisory Board
and luncheon speaker

When women gain security, economic
self-sufficiency, and physical wellbeing, the benefits multiply — for
everyone. Women’s income, savings,
and reinvestment in their own
communities grow; families become
healthier, more secure, and attain better
access to work and education. The
effect goes beyond communities and
extends to counties, states, and even
countries. By increasing the investment
in women, girls, and their families, we
strengthen the entire community.

Improving Lives Through
Education
Workshops and Events
Bring Chester County
Agencies Together
The Fund strengthens collaboration by
providing opportunities for grantees to come
together to build stronger non-profits, educate
others, and share information about needs across
the county. We host workshops open to grantee
agencies such as How to Apply and Making the
Case. Our Annual Meeting and Grants
Celebration held in June at the People’s Light &
Theatre provides a unique opportunity for
agencies across Chester County to join together
under one roof to network and celebrate.
Sharing successes, strengthening relationships,
learning from one another about how to work
smarter and better – these are our goals. We’re
proud to play a central role in uniting our
Chester County community to work even
harder for women, girls, and their families.
7
In 2013, the Fund awarded
a quarter million dollars
to 24 grantee agencies.
We heard moving stories,
we learned about critical
needs, and we shared their
struggles and successes.
The Annual Meeting and Grants Celebration in
June brought grantee agencies together with
Fund board members, volunteers, and supporters.
Participants praised the broad county impact
made by outgoing President Heidi H. McPherson
during her 16 years leading the Fund.
In our Making the Case workshops, grantee
agencies learn how to measure and access
community impacts resulting from our grants.
Making the Case is an invaluable tool used by
women’s funds nationally to evaluate the
impact of grants.

Inviting New Friends into the
conversation
Friends introduced us to friends through our 2012-2013 connection events.
events included a Sunday afternoon tea, evening neighborhood gatherings, and
also “The Art of Giving”—co-hosted by corporate partner SeI Private Wealth
Management. Connection events provided valuable opportunities for us to meet
new and old friends, to learn from grantee agencies and to deepen our
understanding of community needs.
Women Talk: lunch, learn, & Connect. Our brown bag lunch series reached yet
another audience – women eager to discuss diverse topics ranging from human
trafficking to raising children in a technology-based society.
Women Talk filled the Fund conference room with women excited to discover, discuss, and make change.
evening connection events hosted by board members introduced
new friends to the Fund.
The Art of Giving brought Fund friends together for a stimulating evening
in which we learned about lack of food security in our community. The
evening included an art tour of SeI’s world-class West Collection.

Girls Advisory Board
Through active participation on our award-winning Girls Advisory Board (GAB), high school girls from across Chester
County learn first-hand about critical needs in their own communities as well as how to strategically work together to make a
difference through grantmaking. The young women in the Fund’s GAB program go on site visits to non-profit organizations
that many never knew existed. They learn about innovative programs, discuss how to address needs, debate strategies, and
then build consensus to select the organizations they recommend for distributing $20,000 in grants.

The Fund played a major role on the national scene by
co-hosting the first national Girls Grantmaking Conference
with the Women’s Funding network on the campus of Bryn
Mawr College. Many of our most recent GAB participants
joined GAB alumnae with young women from across the
country to take on challenging topics, advance grantmaking
techniques, and develop innovative strategies
for making lasting social change.

‘‘
The national conference
was an incredibly unique
and groundbreaking
event. It proved to be an
ideal incubator for the
cross-pollination of
ideas, intensive
discussions, and the
sharing of practical tools
and success stories from
a diverse group of very
impressive young women.

One full way to bring
women together in full
voice is a just cause.
— THe KinsHiP oF Women
Heidi McPherson has inspired, challenged, and mentored hundreds
of women and girls during her sixteen years as President of the
Chester County Fund for Women and Girls.
Under her leadership, the Fund’s voice is now being heard regionally, nationally,
and internationally.
The Fund’s vision was sparked by a “just cause” — and during her presidency —
Heidi has encouraged an ever-growing number of women and girls to embrace
this vision to address the needs of women, girls, and their families in the
County. These women have now come together in full voice, and as a result, the
Fund has grown significantly in meaningful ways.
Heidi’s lasting legacy will be greater than just the successful
programs of the Fund. She leaves us a strong organization
whose culture is to learn and grow and explore new horizons
that will continue making a difference in the world.
