District 4 Foundation Ambassadors Kathy Smith and Lori Robinson

Purpose of the Foundation and Organizational Structure The Zonta International Foundation funds the approved charitable and educational programs of Zonta International. Without ZIF, we could not deliver the Zonta projects and education programs. The Foundation was established in 1984 and incorporated in 1985. The Foundation is governed by the officers and directors that Zonta members elect at the international convention.

How are projects selected?

Zonta International Foundation Funding Zonta Clubs Funds the charitable and education programs of ZI. Contributions go entirely to program support and development. ZI membership dues support operating expenses. Clubs are requested to give 1/3 of funds raised to ZIF. Friends of Zonta Zonta Members
