Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Info regarding how this event is being affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.:

The Women’s Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation is postponing our annual fundraiser, A Conversation With…Nikki Giovanni. New plans will be shared soon, as will details for supporters who have already purchased tickets. Rest assured, we will work with you in a flexible way. As you can imagine, the decision was a difficult one to make. This event is not only a fun highlight to our year, but it is also a fundraising engine that fuels our work. As we still do not know the trajectory of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the decision ultimately came down to our belief that we are your Women’s Fund. We have a duty to you, and our community to prioritize your health, and the health of our city. Let me assure you that your Women’s Fund is more active than ever and we are taking a leadership role in responding to this pandemic. As you know, our mission is to identify and address the barriers to self-sufficiency and we know that low-income women are going to be disproportionately affected by this pandemic.
