On March 23, United Women in Faith celebrates a Day of Giving to raise funds for The Legacy Endowment Fund. For Generations to Come.

India Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge sewing project, supported by United Women in Faith.

Why March 23?

On this date in 1869, a group of eight intrepid women founded the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, the forerunner of United Women in Faith. Their vision was to create educational opportunities and provide health care to women in India. These founding women invited others to join their mission through their prayers and two pennies. Thus, a movement of faith and generosity in action was born.

The Legacy Endowment Fund

The Legacy Endowment Fund of United Women in Faith is a permanently invested endowment that supports the work of improving the lives of women, children, and youth at home and abroad.

Day of Giving

The annual Day of Giving on March 23 is the single largest fundraising activity for the Legacy Fund each year. On this day, United Women in Faith members and supporters across the country gather locally and virtually to contribute to and raise funds for the endowment.

The Legacy Endowment Fund for Generations to Come

“One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.”

—Psalm 145:4
