BWF Mission & Values
MISSION
BWF envisions a world where power, opportunity, and access are not limited by gender. We work to achieve this by advocating for and investing in grassroots organizations and community solutions led by women+ and girls+* to advance racial, economic, social, and gender justice in Greater Boston and beyond.
*Women+ and girls+ refers to women and girls, including transwomen, as well as those who identify as femme, nonbinary and/or genderfluid.
Announcements
BWF is now accepting nominations for Movement Building Grants. If you would like to nominate an organization, please complete the nomination form by Wednesday, December 15th, 2021.
If you would like to be considered for the Allocations Committee, please complete this application form by Thursday, December 9th, 2021.
WHY WOMEN+ AND GIRLS+?
The Boston Women’s Fund exists solely to support our grantee partners working on systems change and movement building, women+ and girls+ who are solving problems on the front lines of their communities. At BWF, we are who we serve. We know, intellectually and proximately, that organizations supporting women+ and girls+ receive just *1.6% of all national philanthropic funding. In short, philanthropic redlining persists in our most vulnerable communities.
