More Than Money

The Ms. Foundation employs three strategies to build women’s collective power and a more just society:

Grantmaking: We invest wisely in grassroots, Tribal, state and national organizations that are transforming policies and cultural beliefs across the U.S. Informed by decades of work in the field, we identify and support emerging groups and coalitions poised to act when and where change is needed.

Networking and Alliance-Building: We bring local, regional and national groups together to create alliances, to learn from and network with one another, and to strategize around common social change goals.

Skills-Building: We offer leadership development, strategic communications, evaluation and other skills-building opportunities to help our grantee partners become stable, sustainable organizations and maximize their capacity to wage winning campaigns.
