Welcome to VGIF’s party page!
Here you will find information and tools to help you plan and implement your party.

The Virginia Gildersleeve International Fund is committed to raising funds to empower women and girls through education, leadership training, community development and economic opportunities. The challenges for women in developing countries are many and complex, but we believe that by supporting projects conceived, designed, and implemented by our grantees, VGIF can make a sustainable difference in their lives, their families and their communities.

As former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, stated, “There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.”

We welcome you to help our mission by hosting a party in your community. Have a party in your home, at work, with your AAUW branch or other community group… no matter how big or small.

Help empower your community to make a difference!
