WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.

“Bill Daniels had a vision to make life better for people in the states that meant so much to him,” Hanna Skandera, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund, said in a prepared statement. “I believe he would be thrilled to see the impact more than $1 billion invested in our communities has made. Bill’s generosity will continue to change lives for generations to come.”
