Welcome to
Fresno Women's Network
Who We Are
The Fresno Women’s Network is a vibrant community of women in business—entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, small business owners, and leaders from all walks of life—coming together to connect, grow, and support one another. For over 40 years, we've created a space where women feel seen, heard, and empowered to rise both professionally and personally.
Investing in Futures: Our Scholarship Fund
At the heart of our mission is giving back. Our Educational Scholarship Fund supports local students in their college journeys—fueling dreams, opening doors, and honoring the power of education. Every dollar raised, every dessert raffle ticket, and every event attended helps shape a brighter future for the next generation. Together, we lift as we climb.
