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.

Set the Pace

Join a community of women committed to creating meaningful, lasting change. With a contribution of $10,000 or more, you can help grow WPI’s endowment and expand its impact across Dallas for years to come.
