TAMPA WOMAN'S CLUB
The GFWC Tampa Woman's Club (TWC) is a member of the GFWC Florida Federation of Woman's Clubs (GFWC Florida) and the General Federation of Woman's Clubs (GFWC), one of the largest and oldest woman's volunteer organizations in the world.
WHAT WE DO
GFWC members understand that there is no single issue and no single solution. We are distinguished from other nonprofit organizations in that clubs have the freedom to shape programs and projects that suit their own communities and interests, while benefitting from the expertise and support at district, state, regional, and national levels. Whether aiming for the passage of a Congressional bill to prevent violence against women or mentoring at-risk girls at a local elementary school, we are proactive, determined, visionary volunteers with a national voice and a local passion. Most GFWC projects fall under our six Community Service Programs and two Special Projects, our major areas of focus
HISTORY:
The GFWC Tampa Woman's Club was organized in 1900 by 10 members as a cultural and social organization meeting regularly for literary discussions and refreshments at what is now the University of Tampa. As membership grew, their interests widened and in 1913 the Club was accepted into the GFWC Florida Federation of Woman's Clubs (GFWC Florida). Educational and welfare projects became part of the members' concerns.
