Women and Girls Impact Fund at the San Francisco Foundation
12/2011
Like many of you, we believe in the power of women and girls to change the world. With resources and opportunities, they can strengthen families,
communities, and our democracy. The Women and Girls Impact Fund spells out a strategy that weaves together many of the elements that give women and
girls those critical opportunities. Through economic empowerment, self-expression and esteem training, reproductive rights, and freedom from
domestic violence, together we can improve the possibilities for women and girls, and thereby lift up the entire community.
With the fund, the Foundation will partner with effective Bay Area nonprofits that have a track record of helping women and girls not only overcome
crises, but build skills and power, and seize economic opportunities for the future. This new fund supports community organizations that serve
women and girls in three major areas: health and safety; leadership and empowerment; and economic sustainability.
