Savannah's Oldest Continuously Run Non-Profit
Savannah Widows' Society was established in 1822.
A special thank you to Crescent Cities Charities for its
generous donation in 2025, which helped support our essential work. 

What We Do

Providing modest grants to widowed or unmarried women in Chatham County over the age of 60.

Our History

From 1834 to 1985, the Savannah Widows' Society owned and supported various charity residences. Though the residences were eventually razed or sold, the Board continues to meet monthly to handle the business of the Society.
