The Ojai Women’s Fund is an all-volunteer collective organized into 45 giving circles and dedicated to making substantial grants on an annual basis to organizations that target critical needs in the Ojai Valley. Since its founding in 2016, OWF members have donated $419,000 to nonprofit organizations in the Ojai Valley. Marquita Flemming, Co-Chair of the OWF Steering Committee, noted, “Despite the unprecedented challenges during this time, we thought it important to stay the course and move forward with the 2020 grant cycle as planned in order to provide local nonprofit organizations with the support they need to help sustain vital services and programs.”
