Last year, we celebrated 50 years of connection, empowerment, creativity, and transformation. That milestone represents decades of women showing up — for themselves and for each other — in ways that ripple outward into families, workplaces, and our broader community. Over these past several months, I’ve stepped into the role of Executive Director with both excitement and humility. This season has been one of learning every day — navigating challenges, asking hard questions, and beginning to reimagine how Womanspace can grow to meet this moment. Womanspace is, at its heart, a place where personal growth becomes community impact — where creativity, connection, and courage move beyond our walls and shape the world around us in meaningful ways. We are building toward a future where:
This work is grounded in a shared commitment to ensure Womanspace continues to be a place where transformation begins and then extends outward into the community. If Womanspace has been meaningful to you—if it has helped you grow, connect, or find your voice — I invite you to be part of what comes next. Today, I’m asking you to support our Annual Fund Drive with a financial contribution. Your gift, at any level, sustains this work and helps us continue building something that benefits not just individuals, but our entire community. We are in a moment of transition, but also one of real momentum. I am deeply grateful for the trust, energy, and belief so many of you have already brought into this next chapter. Thank you for being part of Womanspace — past, present, and future. With gratitude, Nicole Landreth, Womanspace Executive Director |
Use Your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)to Donate to WomanspaceIf you are an IRA owner and age 70 ½ or older, you can take advantage of a provision in the tax code that allows you to make a direct transfer to a qualified charity in any amount up to $100,000 without having to pay income taxes on the distribution. This is an important advantage for a charitably minded IRA owner who doesn’t need his or her required minimum distribution (RMD) for living expenses. Bear in mind you cannot claim the qualified distribution as a charitable tax deduction since you are receiving the benefit of the amount being excluded from your taxable income. However, in deciding to avail yourself of this opportunity, you enjoy three appealing advantages: You satisfy the removal of the required minimum distribution from your IRA, you pay no income taxes on the amount and you help support the programs and mission of Womanspace. If you are interested in helping Womanspace in this way, please request a check from your IRA made payable directly to Womanspace. Thank you! |
