What is Dining for Women?

DFW is a national giving circle dedicated to:

• Empowering women living in the developing world to become economically self-sufficient, and
• Promoting gender equality by funding programs that empower women and girls

A 2001 study by the World Bank argues that gender equality is vital to combat world poverty and yields a double dividend, elevating women, and as a result, their families and communities.

Through the DFW educational program, our members become agents of change, working to alter the face of world poverty. The power of collective giving allows each of us to make a more substantial difference in the world than we could do individually.
