WEST CHESTER, PA (December 9, 2021) – The Fund for Women and Girls is now accepting nominations for our 2022 Kitchen Table Award. Established in 2011 to honor a Chester County woman who represents the mission and values of the organization, the Kitchen Table Award is presented at our annual Making a Difference Luncheon; its recipient is an “outstanding Chester County woman who has made substantive contributions through service and/or philanthropy to improve the lives of women and girls through her own time, talent or resources.” The award is named in celebration of the genesis of The Fund: the many conversations held around kitchen, board and coffee tables that led to the formation of the organization in 1996. Nominations are open to the public.

The Kitchen Table Award Nominee is announced prior to and recognized during The Fund’s annual Making a Difference Luncheon. This year, The Fund will celebrate our work to uplift and empower women and girls in Chester County at our 17th Annual Luncheon on Friday, May 6, 2022 at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center in Malvern. Funds raised will support The Fund’s philanthropic, educational and advocacy programs that ensure women and girls have resources and opportunities to thrive.

All nominations must be received by Friday, January 14th. To learn more about the award and access the nomination form, visit thefundcc.org/luncheon/. Any questions may be directed to Development Director Dana Wiley at dwiley@thefundcc.org or (484) 356-0940.
