The Princeton Area Community Foundation
created the Fund for Women and Girls to promote philanthropy by and for
girls and the women who raise them. Since the Fund’s founding over
276 donors have joined together to focus their generosity. A $100,000 challenge from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company in
2001 accelerated the Fund’s growth.
