Educating, Inspiring, & Empowering Women Philanthropists
The Mary M. Jalonick Women’s Philanthropy Insitute (WPI) offers a multifaceted approach to educating women about the issues they care about in their community, the nonprofits addressing those issues, and how they can make a difference. Each year, WPI grants an average of $300,000 to nonprofits across Dallas, inspiring positive impacts and action.
Through engaging presentations, interactive discussions, and immersive site visits, participants gain firsthand insights into the challenges facing their community and the diverse range of organizations addressing these needs. By providing a platform for open dialogue and exploration, WPI empowers women to deepen their understanding of social issues and nonprofit initiatives, equipping them with the knowledge needed to make informed philanthropic decisions.
Most importantly though, WPI ignites a greater passion for philanthropy among its participants. The women of WPI are inspired to leverage their resources and talents to effect positive change, maximizing their impact through collective giving.
Through the work of WPI, members are able to be more educated—and empowered—philanthropists.
Mission
The Dallas Foundation established the Women's Philanthropy Institute (WPI) in 2007 in response to an expressed interest by female donors who wanted to learn more about our community and its needs. In 2019, WPI was renamed to The Mary M. Jalonick Women's Philanthropy Institute, in honor of The Foundation's former president and CEO. Jalonick led The Dallas Foundation for three decades before her retirement in 2017. Today, the Institute educates, inspires and empowers women to become confident and engaged donors.
Needs
In 2023, WPI members granted $300,000 to nonprofit organizations in the greater Dallas community, underscoring the power of collective giving. A gift to our Women’s Philanthropy Institute will provide critical support to the following nonprofit organizations in 2024: Abide Women's Health, Exodus, Urban Specialists, and Vogel Alcove. Your generosity helps determine the amount we can award. Help us reach our goal of $300,000 again this year!
