The Woman’s Club of Stuart is the oldest organization in Martin County, the largest Woman’s Club in District 10 of the FFWC, and the eighth largest in the State of Florida.

The Woman's Club of Stuart is currently registered with the State of Florida as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.

We have been providing scholarships to young women for over 50 years. In 2011, we provided four (4) scholarships to young woman in Martin County High Schools.

In addition to scholarships, the Woman's Club of Stuart provides outreach in our community by offering financial support to women suffering from breast cancer and heart disease. Additionally, we support Helping People Succeed, Council on Aging, Veterans Hospital, Hacienda Girls Ranch, Toys for Tots, and many other worthwhile charities. The Club consists of over 100 regular members including members of the Woman's Club of Stuart Girlfriends Committee, a group of professional, philanthropic women.

In 2010, the Club began their most ambitious year to date. With the inception of the new Woman's Club of Stuart Girlfriends Committee efforts, the Club raised over $20,000 to rejuvenate the Clubhouse. The Phase One Clubhouse rejuvenation project was completed in late June 2010. This rejuvenation resulted in the premiere of the "Banyan Room”, a facility that will provide meeting space for thousands of Martin County residents well into the future. Presently, the second phase of Clubhouse rejuvenation is being completed with the installation of a new kitchen.

Establishing a new, younger group of women to organize and host events to raise funds for the Club. This group is called the Woman’s Club Girlfriends.

Through the Girlfriends fundraising efforts, the Clubhouse Banyan Room was completely refurbished with new windows, a new entrance door and French doors to the patio area, a new ceiling, chandeliers and drapes, a new electrical system, and a revamp of the air condition duct work. This refurbishing has enabled a huge increase in Clubhouse rentals.

This summer, the Girlfriends will continue the success of their fundraising efforts with refurbishment of the Clubhouse kitchen. This renovation will provide a modern, state of the art kitchen for our facility.
