The General Federation of Women‘s Clubs is a unifying force, bringing together local women‘s clubs, with members dedicated to strengthening their communities and enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. With 100,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state and more than a dozen countries, GFWC members are community leaders who work locally to create global change by supporting the arts, preserving natural resources, advancing education, promoting healthy lifestyles, encouraging civic involvement, and working toward world peace and understanding.

Accomplishments include: establishing 75 percent of the country's public libraries, developing kindergartens in the public schools, working for food and drug regulation, and domestic violence awareness and prevention.

Located in Washington, D.C., GFWC Headquarters was built in 1875, and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1991. Purchased by GFWC in 1922, the splendid Victorian town home is filled with unique architectural details, art, and artifacts. GFWC Headquarters includes offices that house the professional staff serving members as well as the GFWC 
Women‘s History and Resource Center, which documents the social and political contributions of GFWC clubwomen and women volunteers through the GFWC archives, related special collections, and publications.
