Profile
editThe Women's Foundation California supports women and girls who have historically been under-served due to economic status, race or ethnicity, physical or mental ability, culture, religion, sexual orientation, immigration status or regional factors.
The Women's Foundation California distributes funds primarily through grants for which local organizations apply, referred to as Grantee Partners.
The Women's Foundation California invests in four areas:
- Economic Justice
- Reproductive Health and Sexual rights
- Environment and Women
- Leadership
The Foundation also leverages grantmaking with advocacy in local and state policy work to push for change that impacts women and girls, families and communities. Their work has resulted in policy wins that address human trafficking, domestic abuse and sexual violence, reproductive health, economic security and environmental justice.
