The Ms. Foundation’s 150 grassroots, Tribal, state and national grantee organizations are advancing women’s solutions for social change across the U.S. And they’re winning.
Our grantees are transforming policies and cultural beliefs to create equitable change that benefits everyone—across gender, race and class.

 

They are bringing women’s voices and vision to decision-making tables everywhere—from the grassroots to the White House.

 

And they are connecting with one another across issues, constituencies, and organizing levels to build powerful, inclusive social movements that can secure and sustain progressive wins over time.

With strategic grantmaking, networking and skills-building support from the Ms. Foundation, our grantees are igniting change on behalf of women, families and communities within and across four broad areas: Building Democracy, Economic Justice, Ending Violence and Women's Health.

 

The Ms. Foundation for Women funds across four broad areas because we believe all issues are women’s issues. And we know we’re most successful when we support organizing that makes connections across issues to ensure the most inclusive and lasting systemic change.
