In our grandmothers' day, many women's gift to social, health, arts and education causes was time -- the main way average individuals could give.
What a change!
The past decade or so, women have stepped up in a big way to also donate expertise and money, much gained via better careers and personal investments.
Washington Women's Foundation, with some 400 members, is playing a huge role in that change, especially in this state. Not only does it educate women on groups they're helping (site visits are a must), but it also helps women -- many with average resources -- pool their money and vote on how to spend the big gifts."
