New Kind of Philanthropy – Get Involved

The Women’s Fund SouthCoast invites you to become a member of a group of motivated individuals who are committed to empowering women, girls and gender expansive people in our region. We are local women helping local women. Join us to drive change and transform lives. Targeting charitable donations to women and girls is imperative. Studies show that if women and girls are given education and living-wage work, they become capable citizens who are more productive, save more, and invest more in their families. Healthier mothers raise healthier children to reach their full potential. Economies improve. This statistic from The Clinton Global Initiative gives credence to this: “When women work, they give 90% of their income back into their families, compared with 35% of men.”

It will be up to women to fund our social and economic progress. Women’s Funds play a central role in allocating funds to the most effective and innovative change efforts. In advancing the status of women and girls, we must redefine old notions of who a philanthropist is. We must all become philanthropists with new, more democratic and collective approaches. We must drive the change through a new funding movement based on collaboration, connection, and shared values.

The Women’s Fund SouthCoast has the network and expertise to allocate funds to the most vital, worthy projects. We identify the right resource to address the most pressing issues, whether they be education, child care, living wage, health, safety and wellbeing, civic and political leadership.

We are a collective voice for positive change.

In the past 20 years, the Fund has become a leading resource on the status of women and girls, documenting the reality of their lives on the SouthCoast. Our knowledge, experience, and vision empower us to influence community decision-making and to partner with area nonprofits, businesses, and elected officials to address women’s needs and close the gender gap.
