Washington Area Women's Foundation

Annual report is a reminder of the "priceless" value of our pro bono partners.

I’m looking at our latest annual report, which is hot off the presses. It tells our story succinctly and poignantly—both in words and photos.

Looking at it is a reminder not only of all that The Women’s Foundation accomplished last year, but of the tremendous support we get from a number of pro bono companies that make those accomplishments possible.

So, in the spirit of annual report season, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge those who contribute to our work through their generous pro bono help.

The following companies have truly made a difference in the success and impact of The Women’s Foundation in ways that are visible and some that are behind the scenes. In many ways, we are who we are because of their contributions, because their support is what enables us to tell our story, and the stories of the women and girls we serve.

So, without further ado, our sincerest thanks to the following pro bono partners:

AXIS Communications, which designed the branding platform and Power10 campaign that have contributed so much to our messaging and ability to tell the story of our impact.

The Bivings Group, which designs and currently maintains our Web site, including the online votes we’ve held for the past two years.

Colella Photography, which provides photography of countless events, Grantee Partners and everything in between for our reports, luncheons, Web site and every other marketing piece we have.

EFX Media, which has diligently provided support in graphic design and video production for our reports, Leadership Luncheons and everything in between for years.

Rosenthal Partners, which came on board this year to design our latest annual report and continues to support us.

These companies are a true representation of what it means to work in partnership with nonprofits to improve your community, together. Their support is crucial to our work, now, more than ever.

And we’d encourage you, if you’re seeking services in these areas, to consider working with them. Not only are they outstanding professionals, but they’re invested in helping build a stronger region for all of us.  And as we all know, that’s good business.

Phyllis Caldwell is President of The Women’s Foundation.
