Founded in 1921, the College Women’s Club of Pasadena is truly an historic organization. The Club’s Scholarship Foundation allocates financial aid to one dozen or more full-time students each year who need financial help completing their college or graduate education. Club members raise funding through events, boutiques, and donations. Over its lifetime, CWC has granted approximately $1.3 million to more than 680 women.
In 2016, the Club made the decision to transfer the scholarship foundation’s $1.2 million endowment to the PCF, which now manages the endowment; Club members continue to raise funds and select scholarship recipients. This partnership ensures the perpetuity of the Club’s outreach and mission.
