About Us

Launched in 2010, Wise Women Give brings women together in monthly “parties with a purpose” that benefit charities.  The parties are hosted by local businesses that want to support the community while connecting with potential new customers. 

Wise Women give where they live!

Who receives support?

The charities supported by Wise Women Give are 501c3 nonprofit organizations located in Metro Denver.  The charities generally fall into the following guidelines:

• We support organizations serving children, empowering women, and improving the community.
• We especially like to help organizations that have women in leadership roles, as founders, board members, or key staff.
• We enjoy helping organizations for which our party would generate a significant gift.  These organizations or programs usually have a smaller budget size.

How can you get involved?

Are you a Wise Woman? Join us at one of our parties!  The cost is $35 per month, a tax-deductible donation. 

Are you a local business owner?  Host one of our parties!  You can invite your current customers, meet new potential customers, and do some good for the community.  All we ask is that you provide light refreshments.  You may want to consider an incentive of some kind (10% off purchases; a percentage of receipts donated to the charity).  Some of our past hosts include Wildflowers, lulu's Furniture and Decor, Happy Canyon Flowers, and Doorway 2 the Sole.

Are you connected to a charity that might benefit from Wise Women Give?  Contact us and let us know…our volunteers will determine if you are a good match for our group.  Past charities include the Stinkbug Project, Lovelets, Clothes to Kids, Downtown Aurora Visual Arts, and Fit, Fun, Literacy (a program of the Denver Public Schools).

Wise Women Give is a fund of The Denver Foundation, Colorado’s oldest and largest community foundation.  All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
