New Grants to Help Close the Philanthropic Gap

The Women's Foundation of Boston recently awarded over $1.7 million to 10 nonprofits serving women and girls across the Commonwealth, making it the largest single grant cycle in the Foundation’s history. Through our annual grant cycle process, WFBoston invests in nonprofits that serve women and girls with economically empowering programs that offer the highest economic impact over a multi-year basis. In our six years of grantmaking, WFBoston has begun to move the needle in local philanthropic giving to women and girls by awarding over $6 million.

We’re thrilled that these 10 new grants to local nonprofits will serve thousands of women and girls in Greater Boston, Massachusetts Gateway Cities and surrounding towns.
