We feel that programs that understand and specifically serve the needs of women and girls have the best chance to improve communities. In addition, national studies have found that less than 7% of the philanthropic dollar goes to programs that are focused on women and girls.

For these reasons, we fund programs that:

• increase economic self-sufficiency for women and girls,
• effect public policy and advocacy in support of women and girls, and
• address the issues of human rights and equality of women in our communities.

The mission of the Sojourner Foundation is to increase economic, educational, physical, emotional, social, artistic and personal growth opportunities for women and girls by funding programs which challenge discriminatory policies and systems. The Foundation seeks to create ways for women and girls to participate fully in society and to exercise their full human rights.

Nokomis Foundation combines thought and action to advocate for women and girls. As a funder, we value creativity and experimentation. We invest in innovation and in proven solutions. As a feminist organization, we study emerging issues affecting women and girls and engage with a network of partners, colleagues and communities to share knowledge and extend our impact.

The Michigan Women's Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, that promotes economic self-sufficiency and personal well-being for women and girls.
