About The New York Women's Foundation:

The New York Women's Foundation(r) (NYWF(r)) was established in 1987 as a public philanthropy to be a voice for women and a force for change. From the outset, the founders strove to identify innovative organizations that were truly working to make a difference in the communities they served. The Foundation has thrived on the vision of combining hands-on philanthropy with community-driven projects to address the needs of low-income women and girls. By engaging our volunteers and supporters in seeking and funding women-generated projects serving low-income communities, we build partnerships among women who have the resources to give, women who can teach us more about their neighborhoods, and women who are overcoming the challenges of poverty. The Foundation has awarded more than $17 million in grants since its founding. In 2008, the Foundation will award $2.75 million to 65 organizations in New York City.
