Message from the Executive Director
Dear Friends and Community Members,

It remains our firm belief that women’s struggles for social change historically impacts the whole community: family, friends, neighborhood, and society in general. Our recent grants to twenty community-based women’s and girls’ organizations sets in motion this belief. Continue reading Message from the Executive Director
