Investing in Girls

To further support and expand its mission, the Women’s Fund SouthCoast (WFSC) is excited to join 15 other Women’s Funds from around the country as a member of the National Philanthropic Collaborative of Young Women’s Initiatives (the Collaborative). 

The Collaborative works to advance systems changes and impact marginalized young women and gender-expansive youth and communities of color through the Young Women’s Initiative program (YWI). The YWI program was designed to ensure all young women – particularly young women and gender-expansive youth of color – lead, prosper economically, and live safe and healthy lives.  

In 2024 the Women’s Fund SouthCoast selected Third EyE Youth Empowerment as our community partner who will lead the Young Women’s Advisory Council (YWAC), a cohort of young women and gender expansive youth of color from ages 14-22 residing in New Bedford who will create a blueprint for change in their communities. The YWAC will also advise the Women’s Fund on where to invest a pool of funding to fuel their solutions to the most pressing issues facing youth today. 

Apply to participate in the inaugural cohort today! Visit 3rdeyeunlimited.org to learn more. 

We collaborate with research partners to learn about the issues affecting young women, girls and gender expansive youth. We partner with them to advocate for change and fund solutions that are youth-driven

The report of the Commission on the Status of Women – Girls Initiative 2020 MA Girls – What’s Your Status? serves as one of our guidelines for community investments. 

What Drives Us

We imagine a world in which women and girls are valued and their voices heard.

 

Why Give
