Mission

General Federation of Women's Clubs GFWC is dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.

  • Annual Convention - Since 1890, each year GFWC holds a convention, traditionally in June, bringing the convention to various communities across the country. This gives GFWC Clubwomen from varied geographical areas the opportunity to participate in the organization's national and international efforts. The GFWC Annual Convention plays an integral part in the organization's efforts to better serve its members by providing the invaluable opportunity to make and foster lifelong friendships, experience, grow and learn from professional speakers and workshop programs, club awards and other relevant activities to keep members informed and enthusiastic.

    Expenses $768,144

We work with members and leaders at all levels to make meaningful connections and to provide support for the many projects members undertake across the country. We work collaboratively with the communications and public relations volunteers to promote the excellent work and success stories of GFWC Clubs and Clubwomen.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
