International Efforts
Suzanne’s Fund has been established to carry into perpetuity the opportunity for us to impact positively the lives of vulnerable women and families in developing countries.
The Suzanne Cluett International Family Planning Endowment at Planned Parenthood of Western Washington has been made possible through a generous $1,000,000 gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
“We see this endowment fostering the kind of exchange of knowledge, resources, and understanding between peoples to which Suzanne’s life has been a tribute.” - Bill Gate’s Sr.
In addition, a dollar for dollar match of new donations to the fund, up to one million dollars, will be matched by Planned Parenthood. When fully matched, the endowment will reach $3,000,000. Income from Suzanne’s Fund will enable Planned Parenthood to continue to pursue international reproductive rights and services
Suzanne’s Fund reflects the values held by Suzanne Cluett in her life’s work:
• Assure access to family planning among poor families.
• Create social and economic opportunity for women.
• Empower women to speak and act with confidence and take control of their lives.
• Enhance the education of women and children.
Contributions to Planned Parenthood of Western Washington may be designated for Suzanne’s Fund.
