Women's Foundation of Southern Arizona

The Women's Foundation of Southern Arizona is committed to social change grantmaking that focuses on long-term solutions to societal problems. The Women's Foundation recognizes and values direct service work aimed at addressing immediate needs and will consider supporting that work when clear evidence of the social change it brings about has been demonstrated by the applicant. The Foundation funds programs that:

Address the root causes of social problems facing women and girls;

Challenge societal attitudes, promote public policy change, and encourage institutional reform to eliminate barriers that prevent women and girls from full participation in society;

Have the capacity for impact that extends substantially beyond the women and girls immediately involved in the project.

Promote the unique contributions and/or needs of girls and women through the education of boys and men.

Develop collaboration between the applicant organization and other organizations in the community.
