Women’s Philanthropy Institute Pacesetters

Lead the Future of Women’s Philanthropy

As a WPI Pacesetter, your leadership gift fuels transformative grantmaking and strengthens our community for years to come.

Women’s Philanthropy Institute Pacesetters are a dedicated group of leaders who make an annual contribution of $10,000 or more to advance the mission of the Women’s Philanthropy Institute.

Why Pacesetters Matter

Pacesetter gifts help build the Women’s Philanthropy Institute’s endowment—strengthening WPI’s ability to educate, inspire, and empower women as donors.

When you choose to be a Pacesetter, WPI invests with intention in the initiatives and nonprofits that matter most to you. This enduring source of support will:

Provide predictable income

Allow for proven growth over time

Enable stronger, more strategic grantmaking

This impact is made possible through the power of endowment. An endowment is a permanent fund designed to provide charitable support year after year. Each year, the fund is invested and a portion of its market value is distributed to support grantmaking, while the principal remains intact—allowing it to support nonprofits indefinitely. Gifts of $10,000 or more make an extraordinary impact on the growth of the endowment.

In this way, endowment creates a lasting legacy, ensuring that the generosity and values of WPI members continue to shape and strengthen our community for generations.
