BWF focuses on small, community-based projects that work towards systemic social change through organizing women on their own behalf. Funding priority is given to projects developed and led by low income women, women of color, lesbians, women with disabilities, older women, and girls. A new initiative of the Boston Women's Fund, the Girls Advisory Board represents a new model of leadership for multiethnic low-income young women. Young women will participate and voice their views in the process of grant allocation as well as other BWF activities. There are many ways to give and the Fund's staff is available to help you find the approaches most suited to your needs and to the goals of the Fund.
Some suggestions follow.
Annual Gift A gift to the Annual Fund supports grantmaking, special programmatic initiatives and organizational infrastructure. It is essential. This will lay the foundation for a permanent source of funding for the Boston Women's Fund. A Major Donation Foundations, corporations and wealthy individuals are encouraged to contribute generously to support the long-term sustainability of the Fund. Employee Matching Gift Check whether your employer matches the charitable contributions of its employees.
