Our Club Story
Zonta Club of Madison is group of energetic women committed to building a better world for women and girls through advocacy and service. We currently are focusing our advocacy on achieving an Equal Rights Amendment to the WI State Constitution. Our service is focused on food insecurity, domestic violence and empowering girls through physical fitness. We take care to build strong relationships with our Zonta Club sisters which enhances our advocacy and service impact. All club members are involved in supporting our annual major fundraising event which currently is a Fall Film Festival addressing how women and girls are impacting and being impacted by climate change. We raise funds for our Zonta Madison Foundation for grants to community organizations serving women and girls as well as educational grants and scholarships to support women furthering their education.
