Charities

The IWC Charities Fund is a vital expression of the purpose of the International Women's Club in Moscow. United by compassion, our international volunteers on the Charities Committee are dedicated to creating tangible, lasting change for underserved communities in Moscow.

We ensure that 100% of every donation is channeled directly to our two vital partner organizations. Your support is crucial to sustaining this essential work, which lies at the very heart of our Club's mission.

By supporting the Charities Fund, you don't just give a donation; you become part of a compassionate community driving essential change.

Join us in making a real difference.

Our charities mission

Our aim is to help those most in need.

Our charitable work in Russia began in 1988, which means we have been serving our host community for over 35 years. This vital work is fully funded by donations from the various IWC charity events held throughout the year.

Thanks to the generosity of our members, friends, and the spouses of Moscow's diplomatic missions, we can sustain several long-term projects. We also have the flexibility, depending on our financial position, to fund one-off needs such as appliances, crafting equipment, or refurbishment costs.

Our dedicated volunteers provide hands-on oversight through regular visits to our partner charities. This ongoing dialogue guarantees that donor contributions are managed with utmost accountability and are directly translating into meaningful change.

We are committed to complete transparency. Every single donation is allocated only after a thorough assessment and approval process by our Charity Board.

For years, our charitable work has been powered by major annual events: the IWC Bazaar and the IWC Embassies Dinners. The Bazaar stood as our flagship fundraiser and a premier social occasion, made possible only through the tremendous generosity of Moscow's Diplomatic and Business Communities.

While we look forward to the return of these cornerstone events, we have cultivated diverse new fundraising venues. These include Charity Lunches, Masterclasses, Art Lessons, Iftar lunches and Spring Bazar. Furthermore, all profits from Raffle Tickets and Silent Auctions held at our Meet & Greet events are directed entirely to the Charities Fund.

Financial Sources

Charity board

The IWC Charities Board is the dedicated governance body that oversees all our charitable activities. It meets monthly to review operations, disburse funds, and ensure the strategic and responsible stewardship of every donation.

At each meeting, the Board addresses operational matters, and reviews financial statements. This careful, collective decision-making process ensures our resources are directed where they can have the greatest impact.

Our volunteers maintain close, ongoing relationships with our partner charities. They conduct regular site visits to disburse funds, verify expenditures with receipts, and monitor progress firsthand. This direct engagement guarantees accountability and allows us to provide donors with transparent reports on project status.
