The Women of Blossom are leaving a legacy by engaging in and making personal financial contributions within our giving circle we are taking an active role impacting the lives of women and girls not only in our own community but worldwide. Data shows that funding women and girls within key focus areas has the most impact on not only their lives but the lives of their families and communities.
Where We Give
Local
Each year we donate to local organizations that address the needs of women and girls in our community. The organizations are chosen based on our yearly focus and if they align with our mission and vision. For more information on the organizations we gave to this year please visit our Blog.
Endowment
In 2012, Blossom established an endowment with the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation. While financial gifts to an endowed scholarship fund remain untouched, the income earned from the principal balance finances scholarships for local women and girls. This allows Blossom to impact future generations of women.
