What Charities?
Every three years on a bid basis, the United States Women of Today and the Massachusetts Women of Today each choose a separate charitable foundation to support. Each chapter is requested to support these foundations by fundraising events and/or providing educational information. Chapters are encouraged but not obligated to support these particular charities and are free to choose additional foundations.
