The AWL Foundation (AWLF) is the charitable arm of AWL. AWLF has a two-prong mission to help women in law develop and advance, and to help improve the lives of women and girls in the Kansas City community.
AWLF is led by AWL past presidents and board members who want to continue to be involved after their terms of service. They provide leadership and energy for charitable activities and relationship building.
AWLF accepts community donations for the furtherance of our mission. Donate by clicking the button below.

| DENISE HENNING CONNECTIONSWe encourage women at all stages of their careers. We believe support for new attorneys is crucial to their retention and success; we believe experienced attorneys can be affirmed and fulfilled by giving back. Our mentorship program, Denise Henning Connections, pairs women with a knowledgeable mentor. All mentors and mentees must be AWL members.
