Vision
To assist women and girls in building their personal and financial strengths so that they may live their best lives.
To encourage organizations to see their services through the eyes of girls and women, working together with them to develop new ideas and initiatives.
To help women and girls understand and utilize their giving potential.
The vision and purpose of the Women's Fund has been shaped by some startling statistics about women and girls. Women, and the children they solely support, represent more than 75 percent of those in poverty in the U.S. About 10 percent of women age 65 to 74 are living below the poverty line, as are 15 percent of women age 75 and over--double the rate of men in that age category.
