Private donations for Women's Commission

The Washington State Women's Commission can ask for and receive gifts, grants, and endowments from public or private sources for its work. It can spend the money and any earnings to carry out this law and any donor terms. Private funds cannot replace the commission’s state budget. They can only pay for authorized projects the legislature did not fund. The executive director reports private donations to the Office of Financial Management on a regular basis.

Commission can partner widely and set rules

The commission can work with public agencies, schools, local governments, businesses, and community groups. These partnerships promote equal opportunity for women in government, education, jobs, and services. The commission can also adopt rules under the state Administrative Procedure Act to carry out this law.
