Last week five members from our board traveled to Washington D.C. at their own expense to meet with research and policy organizations and makers to learn of best practices that can be applied to the Women’s Foundation here at home. The Women’s Foundation is committed to being an avid learner and this is one way our organization can continue our commitment to learning.

Featured Grantee – Women’s Employment Network
|
|
Every year the Women’s Foundation announces a package of grants that aim to invest in improving the lives of women of all ages. These grants support a wide array of organizations and education systems that strive to improve all aspects of women and their families’ lives through education, career coaching, financial support and other means. Each month the Women’s Foundation will feature a recipient of our grants in the newsletter.
This month our featured grantee is the Women’s Employment Network (WEN). Women’s Foundation supports the WEN’s Financial Coaching and Credit Building Program, which aims to ensure that women's career gains are translated into increased wealth and economic security. The WEN helps women earn a brighter future for themselves, families and our community. Through structured and personalized career services, WEN creates positive change in the lives of women who struggle with social, economic and educational barriers to employment. WEN’s efforts help women discover their own abilities, gain employment and build a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. We’re proud to contribute to their mission.
