Young Women’s Initiative

Feeling frustrated or angry about our current socio-political environment?
Looking to channel that energy into impactful change?
Want to be in community with people committed to gender equity?

JOIN THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF YOUNG WOMEN’S INITIATIVE (YWI)

WOMEN'S WAY is launching the next evolution of the Young Women’s Initiative (YWI) — a philanthropic community investing in the leadership, health, safety, and economic security of young women, girls, and gender-nonconforming individuals across Greater Philadelphia.

Because outrage is the spark, and action is the engine.
Collective power changes everything.

THIS IS NOT JUST A GIVING CIRCLE.

It’s a power-building community.

YWI pools smaller donations into larger, strategic grants that directly support organizations advancing gender equity.

We are cultivating the next generation of philanthropists and movement leaders — people who understand that where we put our money is political.
