OUR WORK
REIMAGINING PHILANTHROPY.
Boston Women's Fund, we do philanthropy differently. Through equitable grantmaking, public programming, and radical imagination, we're driving lasting change by centering women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals of color from historically excluded communities.
We uplift leaders from BIPOC, elderly, disabled, LGBTQIA+, low-income, immigrant, and refugee communities. We support their life-changing solutions to build power and change systems — most importantly, we let them take the lead.
FISCAL AGENCY PARTNERSHIPS.
JINNY CHALMERS FUND FOR EDUCATION JUSTICE.
The Boston Women’s Fund is a proud partner and the fiscal agent for The Jinny Chalmers Fund for Education Justice (JCFEJ).
JCFEJ was established to honor the life of Virginia “Jinny” Chalmers and to carry on her work as an educator, a mentor, a community leader and a fierce advocate for racial justice and equity in education.
HEALING JUSTICE FUND.
Healing Justice (Access Strategies Fund) has responded to the call from black and brown women, femme, and genderqueer people to promote leadership for women, genderqueer, and nonbinary people of color through healing and healing justice. The Fund has held workshops oriented toward working with the community to provide Black and Indigenous women, nonbinary, and genderqueer people of color (1) space for respite, healing, and connecting to the earth, self, ancestor, and each other, and (2) practices and principles for healing and healing justice to integrate into community and organizing.
