Our Story

Across the SouthCoast, women and gender-expansive people are shaping a more just, vibrant future.

The Women’s Fund SouthCoast mobilizes philanthropic capital, research, and leadership to expand opportunity and strengthen collective power across our region.

We advance gender, racial, and economic justice by investing strategically, elevating community voice, and shifting the systems that shape everyday life.

Community-Based Research

We partner with women and girls to tell the full story of our region—its strengths, its gaps, and its possibilities. This research guides our priorities and amplifies community expertise that has too often been dismissed or ignored. 

Grantmaking 

We fund women-led and community-rooted solutions that move our region toward equity. Since our founding, we’ve invested over $2 million in organizations strengthening economic security, leadership, safety, and well-being for women, girls, and families. 

Advocacy & Civic Leadership

We work to shift systems—not just stories.
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.

Developing the Next Generation of Leaders 

Our Young Women’s Initiative and youth-led councils build pathways where young women and gender-expansive youth can step into leadership, access opportunity, and exercise their power. They are not the leaders of tomorrow—they are leaders now.

OUR IMPACT

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.
