"Thank you for bringing together so many inspiring, dedicated, kick-ass women!”
WAKE International
Women’s Funding Network is the largest philanthropic network in the world devoted to women and girls. Last year, with over 100 women’s foundations and gender equity funders engaged, our members and partners invested over $400 million to advance women and their families across the globe.
Lasting change requires shifts in how people think and act, and policies that support social good. Women’s funding organizations are consistently effective at improving the lives of women and girls because they invest directly in making these shifts by:
The issues are defined within the community or larger society.
People begin behaving differently around the issues.
Institutional, organizational, or legislative policies or practices are changed.
A critical number of people in the community or larger society become engaged.
Earlier progress on issues is maintained in the face of opposition.
Our members are women’s funds and foundations, community foundations, family foundations, institutional funders, individual funders and donors, corporate funders, and more. Together, we are a network united in action. Join us as we build a better world for women and girls.
