Our Approach
Empowering Women Leaders as Drivers of Global Change
We support women, who are the heart of their communities, driving local economies and nurturing well-being. Long marginalized from dominant systems, women possess the knowledge and social capital to lead transformative change. Recognizing their vital role as stewards of our planet, we prioritize and partner with women-centered organizations to build a more equitable and just world.
Identifying Local Leaders and their Programs
We prioritize organizations deeply rooted in their communities and support initiatives tailored to the unique needs and conditions of their communities, considering factors like geography, resources, culture, and economics. We value a deep understanding of the local ecosystem, including power dynamics and opportunities for systemic change.
Seeking Ideas with Impact Beyond their Immediate Scope
We seek solutions that can be adapted and replicated in diverse contexts to help more people. We recognize that growth is not always linear and that "scaling" is not always the primary goal. We emphasize the importance of learning and iteration, with a focus on how locally-developed solutions can unlock broader systemic change.
Collaborating with Others to Amplify Impact
We partner with other foundations and organizations to amplify our collective impact and achieve greater systemic change. Through collaborative funding initiatives, we pool resources, share knowledge and expertise, reduce duplication of efforts and leverage diverse perspectives to address complex challenges more effectively.
