Investment in a woman is an investment in her family and ultimately her community and her nation – women’s funds catalyze this powerful chain reaction to forge the building blocks for a more just and sustainable world.
Like mutual funds, women’s funds expect a return on their investment. Instead of financial gain, the return on a women’s fund is the transformation of the lives of women and girls and lasting impact on the communities in which they live.
Women’s funds work to:
Connect women's solutions to problems with money and resources.
Seek out initiatives that offer the greatest potential for lasting impact on issues from poverty to women’s political representation.
Partner with community organizations and leaders to ensure proven solutions have the money, resources and skills to succeed.
Most women's funds tap into the financial power of every woman — from the $1 donor to the $1 million donor — to promote change for generations to come.
Over 80 percent of the people living in poverty in Memphis are women and children. It takes a lot of courage for a person to make changes that improve not only her life but the security of generations to come.
