The Women’s Fund of Mississippi is the only grantmaking organization in Mississippi entirely dedicated to funding programs that improve the lives of women and girls statewide. A group of women started the Women’s Fund as a field-of-interest fund within the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson in 2002.

In April 2009, the Women’s Fund became an independent nonprofit, separate from the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson. The Fund has since expanded its work to include the entire state, not just the Jackson area.

Since 1948, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has worked to build better futures for disadvantaged children and their families in the United States. The primary mission of the Foundation is to foster public policies, human service reforms, and community supports that more effectively meet the needs of today's vulnerable children and families.

The Women's Rights Fund enables the Fund for Global Human Rights to highlight the work of more than eighty women’s rights grantees; underscore the connection between legal, economic and social discrimination against women throughout the world; and attract new financial resources to the Fund—enabling us to expand our grant-making on the range of critical human rights issues affecting women’s everyday lives.

Our vision is a Central America in which young women are guaranteed
their right to physical and emotional integrity, to economic justice
and to participate as leaders in making decisions that will affect
their lives and their communities.

By bringing groups of young women from diverse communities and
cultures throughout Central America together, the Fund contributes to
the construction of a regional movement that seeks new and creative
solutions to problems young women face in their communities.
