The 400+ women of Northeast Florida’s Women’s Giving Alliance (WGA) are proud to host the sixth national forum for women’s collective giving groups March 12-14, 2017 in Atlantic Beach.   We are so excited to welcome Jackie Bezos to Atlantic Beach!  Jackie is the mother of Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, the Head of the Bezos Family Foundation, a member of the Washington Women’s Foundation, and a friend of WGA member, Amy Margerum Bergh, who extended the invitation.

The work of the Bezos Family Foundation is mostly centered on early childhood education, and they have recently announced a fascinating new initiative in conjunction with the City of New York.  The Bezos Family believes that there is a lot of brain science that is sitting on shelves in universities that, if made accessible to the parents of young children, could help them parent more effectively and make their children more ready for school.  They know that parents want their children to succeed—they just need help understanding the right strategies.  Read more about the launch of this initiative.

Get more involved, including sponsorship, volunteer, and media opportunities.
