Why I donate

Susan Remmer Ryzewic

"I support WCD because I believe in, and have benefitted from, its multi-pronged approach to strengthening corporate governance. I especially value the relationships which I have developed through my membership. "

"WCD provides me with networking support and innovative education through the combination of local chapter programming, the institute conferences, and the research."

Evelyn Dilsaver

"Imagine if at least half of the board compositions were women. Imagine if half the CEO's of Corporate America were women. Imagine if at least half of our elected officials were women. What would our world look like?"

"I give to mission-driven organizations that know why they exist and what they want to do to make our world a better place, now and for the future. As women on boards, we have the power and capability to create organizations that improve the lives of our employees, the communities we serve and our shareholders, all at the same time. It is not an either/or decision. By giving a donation, I believe we will continue to advance our mission and realize our goals for greater inclusiveness."

A Special Campaign to Honor the Legacy of Retiring WCD Founder, Susan Stautberg

Seventeen years ago, at a time when women held only 10.9% of Fortune 1000 board seats, Susan Stautberg had the vision to create an organization for women who serve on corporate boards in an effort to not only provide governance education to board members, but also to serve as an advocate for greater boardroom diversity around the globe. With the help of several seasoned female directors, plans were developed and Susan’s vision became a reality as WomenCorporateDirectors Foundation (WCD) successfully launched its first chapter in New York in 2001.

Today, as Susan approaches her retirement, she can be proud that WCD has become a powerful organization with 80 chapters and thousands of members around the world.

We invite you to make a donation to the WCD Foundation as a way to support Susan’s vision for gender parity in corporate boardrooms and to help WCD as we continue to promote Susan’s legacy through our BoardNext initiative, which helps to build a pipeline of board-ready women through educational programming and mentorship.

Your gift is deductible as a charitable contribution only to the extent that it exceeds the value of goods and/or services you received in exchange for the gift. WCD is not providing any goods or services in exchange for your gift.
