The Bronxville Women's Club, Inc.

Kathleen DeRusso, Vice President of Philanthropy

One of the missions of the Bronxville Women's Club is its Philanthropic pursuits and Community relations.  Many members donate their time and talents to organizations throughout Westchester and the surrounding community.  The Club raises funds throughout the year to donate to local worthwhile organizations, and the building is made available at a substantial discount for not-for-profit organizations.

The Bronxville Women's Club is a 501(c)(3) organization.  Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable of the IR code.  Besides our philanthropic endeavors, this designation helps us with our mission to keep the building sound for today and future generations.  Please feel free to contact the VP of Philanthropy if you would like to help in keeping the historic building sound.
