Support Financial Security for Women

Honoring Dr. Martha Stacker

Dane County Human Services, Division Administrator of Children, Youth and Families  

Each year, Women United honors a woman committed to making our community a better place to live, for all. The Women United Philanthropy Award recognizes her achievements in educating, empowering and inspiring young women and girls to be leaders in Dane County. This year, we are thrilled to honor Dr. Martha Stacker! 

Hailing from Milwaukee, Dr. Stacker brings an acute understanding of the challenges that impact families. She understands social service systems firsthand - both as a former recipient and now as a leader driving change within them. Throughout her career, she has held positions in the nonprofit sector, at public schools, the Department of Health Services, the Department of Corrections and the Department of Children & Families. Currently, she serves as the Division Administrator of Children, Youth, and Families at the Dane County Human Services Department. "I don't like to say I have lived experiences, but rather that I'm living experience."

Menstrual Hygiene ImPack Engagement

In the spirit of Women United's advocacy for financial security for women, we're hosting a menstrual hygiene product engagement where we will be repackaging menstrual hygiene products into essential ImPack kits that will be distributed to our partnering nonprofits. 

When individuals in Dane County don't have access to menstrual hygiene products, they are more likely to miss work or school - making it harder for them to succeed in life. Pads and tampons aren't covered by food and nutrition assistance programs, and these items are rarely donated but always needed. At Women United, we believe a period shouldn't stand in the way of someone participating in school, work, life and community. 

Silent Auction

All of this year's Silent Auction bidding will be conducted through the GiveSmart service, accessed with your own smartphone or through text messaging. A listing of all Silent Auction items will be available here on May 1. 

Thank You to Our Generous Sponsors!
