We have much to be thankful for at the San Jose Woman’s Club. Our focus on our three-fold mission of charitable giving, friendship, and preserving our Historic Venue continues through the hard work of staff and volunteers and through generous donations to the Club.
- This past fiscal year, we have donated more than $25,000 to organizations that support our mission, including Opera San Jose, Breast Cancer Fund, Sempervirens Fund, San Jose Day Nursery and Next Door Solutions.
- We supported women in our community through our LUNAFestival for cancer, the Bloomie Dropper Party fundraiser for women in need, and Be a Dear and Donate a Brassiere provided first Make Over Day, which allowed over 30 women in transition to feel fabulous.
- We continue to preserve and protect our landmark Historic Venue. We look forward to the new year when we pay off our loan for the significant electrical upgrade we completed in 2014 and plan for air conditioning.


We couldn’t do any of this without your generous donations. Your contribution to the San Jose Woman’s Club goes straight to work on our mission.

Donor Sweetheart Party
In February 2016, San Jose Woman’s Club inaugurated the Donor Sweetheart Party to thank the generous donors who support the Club throughout the year. Gifts from the President’s Year End Campaign were awarded at the event and attendees enjoyed a delightful dessert buffet.
