To honor Gloria Steinem as a founding mother and continued supporter of the Ms. Foundation for Women, friends established The Gloria Steinem Fund in 1994. Using the interest from this endowed fund, Gloria Steinem makes grants each year to support creative, risk-taking women whose efforts empower women and girls, and who are still below the radar screen of larger funders. Each year, the president of the Ms. Foundation for Women makes several grants outside of the foundation's main issue areas. These grants support the organizing efforts aimed at engaging women and girls in crafting activist solutions to challenges based on race, ethnicity, class, age, disability, sexual orientation, and culture. The Ms. Foundation holds membership in several affinity groups whose work informs and enhances its grantmaking.
