The Women's Fund of Miami-Dade has awarded over $2 million to more than 225 projects serving thousands of women and girls and has played an important role in encouraging the development of more programs designed with the need of women and girls in mind and strengthening existing gender-specific programs.
Women's Fund of Miami-Dade is a catalyst for social change and economic justice with the goal of creating a community where all women and girls reach their full potential. Our grant making, along with advocacy, training and community building are the key elements used to achieve this goal.
