Since it was founded more that 117 years ago, the General Federation of Women's Clubs has been a unifying force, bringing together local women's clubs from around the country and throughout the world. Although there is considerable diversity in the ages, interests, and experiences of GFWC clubwomen, all are united by a dedication to community improvement through volunteer service.

Accomplishments during GFWC's first century include: establishing 75 percent of the country's public libraries, developing kindergartens in the public schools, and working for food and drug regulation.

During its second century, the Federation has pledged to maintain its commitment to working for a better world. With "Unity in Diversity" as its motto and a strong umbrella of programs that clubs may adapt to suit the needs of their communities, GFWC encourages the flexibility that has enabled it to expand its reach in a rapidly changing society

GFWC~It's a Volunteer Thing

GFWC clubwomen are true volunteers in action. In 2008, GFWC clubwomen volunteered more than 12 million hours and donated more than $81 million on behalf of 165,000 projects. Learn more about GFWC in our 2008 Year in Review video now available on YouTube!
