We make this gift in honor of our founder, Lizzie Crozier French, and the many remarkable Ossoli Circle women who, through their courage and vision, worked to make the world a better and fairer place for women.

Their efforts—fighting for the right to vote, to receive an education, to hold meaningful jobs, to run for office, and to participate fully in society—have shaped the opportunities we enjoy today.

With this donation, we hope to help preserve their stories so that future generations will remember and understand the struggles, the sacrifices, and the triumphs of those who came before us.
