GRANTEES
GRANTEE PARTNERS.
Between 1985 and 2022, the Boston Women’s Fund has awarded more than $7.2 million to over 362 grant awards. These critical funds have provided seed money, program support, and operational funding for grassroots community efforts led by women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals.
BWF’s inclusive grantmaking process supports the growth and efficacy of emerging social justice organizations that are often neglected by mainstream funding. We are deeply grateful for the work being done in our communities by our grantees.
