  • Administers the FRIENDS Endowment Fund.
  • Provides information to more than 8,000 Iowans through printing and distribution of the bi-monthly newsletter, IoWoman.
  • Promotes, in a variety of ways, the observance of Women's History Month in March of each year.
  • Honors the women inducted into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame with an annual reception and luncheon.
  • Helps the ICSW to administer scholarship programs for various conferences and workshops on issues of special concern for women.
  • Hosts the annual "Women You Know, Women You Want to Meet" networking reception.
  • Provides support for the ICSW's "Whispers and Screams" Conference, to provide training for those who work with girls who are at risk.
