Fairy Godmothers

Mission

The Fairy Godmothers' funds are component funds of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation that will serve to benefit women of the Greater Manhattan area. The funds provide flexible monies to improve the health and well-being of women with limited resources who have immediate needs not met by traditional funding resources within the community.

Profile

In 2006, several Manhattan women saw the need to help women in our community, serving needs and filling gaps that other service agencies were not able to fill. Members of the Fairy Godmothers organization share a strong commitment to continually increase funds so Manhattan-area women can lead lives filled with promise and opportunity. Members become Fairy Godmothers because they care and want to help others. They know their donations will make a difference.

The Fairy Godmothers organization is more than 700 women strong. Many members choose to serve on working committees or on the Advisory Board. Contributions continue to increase as the number of Fairy Godmothers grows, ensuring the unending progress toward the group's mission.
