Since this time last year, your support has had an incredible impact on our community! 

In our 2023 grant cycle, we awarded over $1.7 million to 10 nonprofits. This marked our sixth year of grantmaking to nonprofits that serve women and girls across the Commonwealth, and was the largest single grant cycle in our organization’s history.   

We’ve committed nearly $6.1 million to women and girls-serving nonprofits, investing in 15,000+ women and girls in our community since our inception. It's been a journey full of joy and fulfillment!

In 2023, we loved hearing firsthand the impact WFBoston grants and advisory services like BoardHub have had from our grantee partners at the Celebrate Your Impact appreciation event.

The stories shared at our 2023 Make Her Mark signature event this fall, especially by fifth-grader Nicole, beautifully illustrated the significant impact we're achieving together!

Thousands of women and girls in under resourced Massachusetts communities still do not have access to programs shown to increase confidence, skills and economic empowerment. Together with your support, we are working hard to change this.

Through the end of the year every dollar donated to WFBoston will be matched.

Thanks to the generosity of the Bialecki Family, every dollar donated to WFBoston before the end of the year will be matched. 

DOUBLE your impact this month! All gifts received before January 1 will be matched dollar for dollar. 

100% of your donation will go directly toward funding exemplary programs for Greater Boston women and girls - such as STEM education, career planning, financial literacy and job training. Thanks to your support, grants made by WFBoston have empowered thousands in our community!

Mother Caroline Academy (MCA) is the only tuition-free independent school for girls in grades 3-8 in the City of Boston serving traditionally under resourced neighborhoods.

Earlier this year, WFBoston awarded a 3-year $219,000 grant to strengthen MCA’s STEAM programs. A portion of the grant funded MCA’s new coding teacher, a former engineer now teaching these students coding to make games and more! 

Recently, Ansys made an in-kind donation of laptops to WFBoston, which we granted to MCA. When we recently saw these MCA 7th graders coding presentation, their energy was palpable! 

The percentage of women pursuing STEM subjects in higher education is declining, with only 18% of new computer science degrees going to women.  Way to go Ansys and MCA - full STEAM ahead!
