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.

Grace in Abundance

“And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything you may be able to do good for every good work.”

—2 Corinthians 9:8

God’s abundant grace has been with us since the inception of The Legacy Endowment Fund and that grace continues to abound as we grow ever closer to reaching our $60 million goal.  We are now less than $9 million away.  Day of Giving, March 23, 2026 is our opportunity to gather together as one to thank God for the continued grace shown to United Women in Faith, by faithfully giving to ensure the future of our vital mission work to improve the lives of women, children, and youth at home and abroad.  Please join us and show your appreciation for God’s Grace in Abundance with your generous gift.
