We Support
Organizations and programs that advance the status of women and girls through our grantmaking programs. Since 1977, WOMEN’S WAY has strategically invested more than $23 million dollars into our community - making a meaningful difference for women, girls and families in the Greater Philadelphia region. Unlike most grantmaking organizations, WOMEN’S WAY has to raise virtually every dollar it puts out on the streets on an annual basis.
To ensure that individuals’ donations are invested wisely, WOMEN’S WAY is updating our grantmaking process, allowing us to:
- Be more nimble and flexible in response to urgent needs
- Be a leader in systems-level learning, driving deep impact across the Philadelphia region
- Be a catalyst for collaboration
- Make data-driven decisions
- Engage donors on the impact of their investments
- Be a regional thought leader on women’s issues
In Addition
We understand that inequities, biases, and norms are inextricably linked, including those rooted in gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, differential ability, age and socioeconomic background. We will use this lens to inform our grantmaking process.
