HISTORY OF THE GFWC EMBLEM
GFWC’s emblem depicts a circular band signifying eternity. In the center of the circular band, the crusader’s shield emerges from a darkened world (represented by the field of darkness), which represents enlightenment. The enameled colors—red, white, and blue—are the colors of the United States of America. The red implies courage, the white equals purity, and the blue stands for constancy.
OUR PROJECTS INCLUDE THE SIDE BY SIDE BRAIN INJURY CLUBHOUSE, THE ART STATION, THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, THE STONE MOUNTAIN FOOD CO-OP, EASTER SEALS, THE STONE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY GARDEN, RELAY FOR LIFE, THE USO, THE VA HOSPITAL, A LOCAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER, SAFE KIDS, TALLULAH FALLS SCHOOL, WELLSPRING LIVING, SUE KELLOGG LIBRARY, AND MANY MORE.
GFWC CELEBRATES 135 YEARS
OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE in 2025
With over 60,000 members, ranging in age from teens to seniors, and with clubs in every U.S. state and eleven countries, GFWC is the world’s largest nonpartisan, nondenominational, international women’s organization.
In 2023, members of GFWC contributed over $106 million to various charities and on projects in their communities. They volunteered over six million hours and completed over 98,386 projects.
Some of the historic accomplishments of the last 135 years include:
- Founding more than 75 percent of the nation's public libraries
- Developing kindergarten programs in public schools
- Working for food and drug regulation
- Leading the drive for emergency relief support for efforts since World War I and continuing through 9/11 and more recent devastations around the world.
GFWC clubs and clubwomen are the fabric that binds together not only the Federation, but the communities in which they live and work. By Living the Volunteer Spirit, GFWC clubwomen transform lives each day, not simply with monetary donations, but with hands-on tangible projects
that provide immediate impact. With a grassroots approach that often
thinks locally but impacts globally, GFWC, its clubs and members remain
committed to serving as a force for global good, as it has done since its
formation.
GFWC is committed to remain a leading voice in areas our members
are active in every day. As an organization dedicated to community
improvement, we must take action on important topics that impact the
quality of life for all – especially those related to women and girls, early
childhood education, and veterans’ services.
