The New York Women’s Foundation has been a crucial partner to organizations implementing local, community-based solutions. Often the first or largest investor, The Foundation has a 32-year history of identifying, funding, and supporting small and/or emerging organizations, programs, and community leaders in order to create long-term economic security for individuals and communities living at or below the poverty line in the five boroughs of New York City. The Foundation also uses targeted initiatives to further propel positive change for underinvested women and girls.
