Economic Empowerment

The Women’s Foundation of California is the only statewide public foundation that invests in women and girls throughout California who are working to create a more just and equitable society. Since 1979, we have invested in the most promising women leaders in the state who are strengthening grassroots organizations, advocating for policy change and building movements. We have awarded more than $24 million in grants to more than 1200 community-based organizations in every region of our diverse state.

The Three Guineas Fund, founded in 1994, promotes social equity by expanding access to economic opportunity for women and girls.

The New York Women’s Foundation (NYWF) was established in 1987 as a public philanthropy to be a voice for women and a force for change. We are a cross-cultural alliance of women helping low-income women and girls in the five boroughs to achieve sustained economic security through expanded opportunities. We work together to transform the conditions of poverty and to create an equal and just future for low-income women and girls.

Women and girls aren’t short of ideas to help create change. But they’re often short of the money they need to turn those ideas into reality.

That’s why Rosa’s here – to champion and invest in exciting initiatives to improve the lives of all women and girls in the UK.

Rosa was established in 2008 and is dedicated to achieving equality and justice for women in the UK, and their mission of raising and distributing money to women's projects and influencing other women to do the same.

We serve five counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area and our donors, and grantee partners come from all walks of life and from all communities. We represent divergent views and experiences, but we all share one important belief: together, we can increase self-sufficiency among women and girls and accomplish positive social change.
