"In the 2022-2023 grant cycle, Women United proudly distributed $60,000 in women's financial stability and select Girls on the Run, Tenfold and WellSpan as the next round of grantees for the 2023-2024 campaign. Looking forward, we always welcome new members who are interested in serving on a committee to assist in planning events or review grant applications."
