Foundation Fund Planned Giving 

The Women Leaders in Sports Legacy Fund recognizes and expresses gratitude to those who have generously made a commitment to the future of our organization and members through a planned gift. Planned gifts provide greater financial stability to Women Leaders in Sports. All planned gifts will support our Foundation Fund that directly supports scholarship opportunities for women to access Women Leaders memberships and/or attend Women Leader Institutes, programs, and the National Convention.

As you plan for future giving, please consider Women Leaders in Sports where WE BELIEVE THE WORLD NEEDS MORE WOMEN LEADERS IN SPORTS! With your planned gift we will be able to grow and expand the number of women in our powerful network who can access career and leadership trainings to propel their careers, provide more scholarships to our members to experience our transformational leadership offerings and the National Convention and grow brand relevance across sports to be an influential voice championing women.
