In 2023, Arlington Community Foundation convened a group of local “women on a mission” to talk about community engagement, leadership, and charitable giving. We listened carefully. We heard that women were interested in opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of community issues and that they enjoyed connecting with other women to share perspectives, learn together, and identify opportunities for action and impact on the issues they care about.

Since then, we have had the honor of hosting a number of important community conversations through what’s now called the Arlington Women Community Builders (AWCB).

From discussing equity and inclusivity at the new Fire Station 8, to highlighting affordable housing challenges and solutions, to showcasing year-end local giving opportunities, AWCB has become a home for women learning, growing, and giving in Arlington.
