2022 Women's Leadership Guild Grant Awards

Five local non-profits were awarded $2,000 each by the Pullman Regional Hospital Women’s Leadership Guild for this year’s grant cycle. Now in its eighth year, the Women’s Leadership Guild has raised and gifted more than $265,750 to support women’s and children’s health and wellness and Pullman Regional Hospital’s highest needs.

    • Lauren McCluskey Foundation: will use funds to display “Lauren’s Promise Safety Cards” in public and private restrooms to help victims access the national dating abuse hotline.
    • Palouse Discovery Science Center: will continue to fund the Mudskippers Outdoor Group for early learners, their caregivers and siblings. Funds will also help provide tools to improve access and accessibility to the nature loop used in the program.
    • Palouse School Food Pantry: will deliver nutritious snacks to children through the school food pantry.
    • United Way of Whitman County: Will partner with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to send an age appropriate book every month to enrolled children ages 0-5 at no cost to the families.
    • Willow Center for Grieving Children: will send children to Camp Erin, a children’s grief camp, in the summer of 2023 for children who have lost loved ones.

Since 2015, the Women’s Leadership Guild has been building a tribe of passionate, take-action, community-focused women who want to empower women and children to live better, healthier lives. Through membership contributions and networking events, the guild awards grants to regional non-profits who provide shelter to homeless families, food to children in need, care for the aging and disabled, and support to grieving and orphaned children. Since 2015, the Women's Leadership Guild has successfully raised more than $240,000 in funds to support local non-profits and the hospital's highest needs. Join us! We want you to experience the joy of helping women and children.
