High Water Women is a foundation (501(c)3 application pending)
to provide constructive avenues for women in the hedge fund industry
and their friends and colleagues to support philanthropies and
volunteer endeavors that better the lives of women and children
and to mentor women and young girls and be mentored.
We will initially focus on partnerships where our members’
philanthropic and volunteerism goals converge. We expect to focus
on philanthropies that support family homelessness, education,
at risk teens and young women’s health, and empowering women
both at home and abroad. We believe that we are best able to "make
a difference" where philanthropy and volunteerisms are coupled.
We plan to hold several fundraisers each year, organize mentoring
programs to help the next generation of senior women, create both
one time and ongoing volunteerism opportunities, hold informational
sessions on philanthropic issues, and educational meetings on
such topics as not for profit board responsibilities and tax effective
philanthropy.
