The Gratitude Fund, an annual campaign of the New York Women in Communications Foundation, is an ongoing opportunity for members and friends of NYWICI to show their gratitude for something good that has happened to them.

To quote NYWICI past president Mary Lou Quinlan, "Each of us will have success at some point in our lives. Could be a new job, a promotion, an article or a book published, a business started, a new client, or whatever. And at some point in the process, someone probably gave us a hand. The NYWICI Foundation Gratitude Fund is a way to share some of your victory with someone who needs it. When something great happens to you, or even something small and positive, think about making a contribution, whatever size you feel is appropriate, to the Gratitude Fund. The money is earmarked for scholarships and tuition help for both students and women in transition. Let your success feed someone else's."

At every NYWICI event, there is an opportunity for you to give whatever you can, however much you feel, to help young communications students with scholarships. Look for the box at the membership table, put something ($5, $10, whatever) into the envelope.

Please donate online (above), or send a check made out to NYWICI Foundation Gratitude Fund to:

However you do it, do it. You will be helping yourself, and the future of women in communications.
