Washington Area Women’s Foundation is a community-supported foundation that invests in the power of women and girls of color across the Washington, DC metropolitan region.  Women and girls of color make change happen.

• Advocates - We center the voices and lived experiences of women and girls of color to influence policymakers and the local philanthropic sector to advance systems and institutional change with a gender, racial, and economic justice lens.  

Our current investments and advocacy efforts focus on:  

• Early Care and Education (Early Care and Education Funders Collaborative) 
• Safety and Violence Prevention (Stand Together Fund) 
• Young Women and Gender-expansive Youth of Color (Young Women’s Initiative)
