The Impact of our Grants

We support innovative and effective nonprofits with the smartest strategies for change.

"The Women's Foundation is willing to help us develop the potential that's there in very low-income and rural communities—with women who often don't have a voice and are left out of the political process. It seems like the Foundation is willing to...I was going to say, 'willing to take a chance,' but my guess is that the Foundation doesn't really see it as taking a chance. They see it as an opportunity."

With your help, we are able to support some of California's boldest women leaders. They share with us a vision of this state as one of the healthiest, safest and most economically prosperous places inthe country.

We give grants to effective and innovative nonprofits. For 30 years, we’ve been giving small-to-medium grants to organizations that we know have the potential for electric and lasting change. Historically, we have been early in funding important issues like human trafficking and domestic violence.

We identify passionate, strong leaders who have clear focus. We have a rigorous application and proposal review process. When you write one check to the Foundation, you own a basket of high-yield approaches on an array of the most pressing women’s issues.
