Give the Gift of Social Change this Holiday Season

When you help a woman, you are also helping her family and when families thrive, so do entire communities. That is why social change is so important--its impact goes well beyond fulfilling immediate needs. Please donate to the Women's Fund so we can continue to create real, systemic change for women and girls that will benefit everyone. After all, the cost of supporting social change is nothing compared to the price of things never changing. This holiday season honor your family and friends with the eternal gift of social change. Make a tribute gift to the Women's Fund in their name.

Women's Fund awards almost $300,000 in grants for 2010

The Women's Fund is bringing in the new decade with a bang! We are happy to announce that we will make $282,845 in grants to support social change for women and girls in 2010. In total, 32 organizations will receive 46 grants (view the entire list of grants here).

The beauty of programs that take a social change approach is that every dollar counts--not only once but many times over. For instance, a twenty dollar donation won't just support a single fitness class. A twenty dollar donation will support preventative health measures and long term behavioral change that will be passed down for generations to come.
