Women for Tomorrow is a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to positively serve and impact our communities. We are a collective force that fosters community outreach, volunteering, and philanthropy to make tomorrow better than today.

Since our first meeting in January 2024, we have rolled up our sleeves and gotten to work. We have partnered with local organizations like Love Inc. to prepare and serve meals and the Burlington Transitional Living Center to prepare Easter baskets for moms who are living there to give to their children. We've collected much-needed art supplies for local classrooms. Collected clothing, personal care items, and pantry staples to groups like BASD Foundation’s Stock the Closet initiative, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Life Choices, and TLC.  We are incredibly proud of our pledge to support the Burlington Public Library's expansion. We recently made a donation to Burlington and Waterford Union High school to help students with negative lunch balances. 

But we didn’t stop there. Women for Tomorrow held our 2nd annual Adult Prom to establish a scholarship fund benefitting local young women pursuing post-secondary education. In April, we gifted $6,000 to young women at Burlington, Catholic Central, and Waterford Union High School. 

Our mission remains steadfast: to gather together, listen to the needs of the community, and make a plan to help.
