The Woman’s Club of Evanston – Building Community, Friendship and Leaders

More than 125 years ago, a group of visionary women formed The Woman’s Club of Evanston to address pressing social issues and unmet community needs.  Since 1889, the WCE has been a transformative community force, volunteering thousands of hours and making hundreds of financially significant philanthropic grants. Each year, WCE members raise and contribute more than $150,000 and 15,000 hours of volunteer service to local, not-for-profit organizations. With a vibrant community of nearly 400 multi-generational members, the WCE continues to shape the future of service and philanthropy in Evanston and surrounding communities. The Woman's Club of Evanston is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. See our statement on our commitment  on equality

Today the tradition of philanthropy and service continues our mission to connect women behind a shared purpose of volunteerism, social empowerment, and community support.

The WCE continues to advance women, hosting events like International Women’s Day; programs on current events and culture; and Premier Events including the Holiday BazaarWCE RevueDreams Deliveredand the Spring Benefit.  Through active involvement, members develop as community leaders and form lifelong friendships.
