About
BWF Mission
The Boston Women's Fund supports community-based organizations run by women and girls in the Greater Boston Area. We work with low-income women; women of color; women with disabilities; lgbtq community; immigrant women; elder women and girls who are working to create a society based on racial, economic, and social justice. The Boston Women's Fund raises money from a broad base of donors across economic backgrounds to provide grants and develop programs that strengthen the grassroots initiatives and leadership of women and girls.
BWF Core Values
• We believe that change starts at the grassroots level, and systemic change is necessary to achieve social justice.
• We believe that power and wealth must be redistributed to attain equity and systemic change.
• We believe that the fight for women's rights is an integral part of a larger struggle to end oppression based on race, class, gender, age, religion, ability, or sexual orientation.
• We believe that all movements fighting racism must be racially and culturally diverse in both membership and leadership if progressive change is to occur.
• We believe that women and girls can and must be leaders within all movements if progressive change is to occur.
• We believe that educating and organizing a diverse donor base is a critical strategy for amassing broad support for social-change movements.
• We strive to reflect our commitment to shared leadership, equity, and cultural diversity in all aspects of our organization's operations.
