Latina Advocacy Grants:
Through a special partnership with Saba Chai Five Foundation, in September 2012, WOMEN’S WAY announced grant funding to the following organizations. The priority for funding was advocacy work on women's issues in Latina communities in our region with particular focus on advancing issues related to our core mission of equality, safety, economic self-sufficienct and reproductive choice for women and girls.
We are excited and proud to work with these groups.
