By collaborating with advocates, coalitions, and policymakers, we help shape policies that reflect the lived realities and the solutions offered by those most impacted by gender and racial inequity.
We lead with an anti-racist, intersectional equity lens because true change begins with understanding—deeply and honestly—how systems impact real people’s lives.
Since our founding, we have invested more than $2 million in organizations strengthening economic security, leadership, safety, and well-being across the SouthCoast.
Through the Young Women’s Initiative and other partnerships, we are deepening leadership, strengthening community voice, and aligning investment with long-term change.
Join us today — your support makes all the difference.
Together, we’re building a SouthCoast where every woman, girl, and gender-expansive person can flourish.
