Who We Are
The Virginia Women's Foundation leads systemic change for gender, racial, and economic justice. We do this through strategic grantmaking, community empowerment, and investment in the leadership of women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals.
We envision a future where women of every background and identity thrive.
Who is included when we say women and girls?
When say women and girls, we include cis and trans women and girls .
As an organization we use a gender, racial, and economic equity lens to guide our work. We celebrate a diverse spectrum of gender identities and expressions including non-binary and gender-expansive people.
Impact Areas
Connecting
Collaborating with organizations and passionate individuals allows us to come together for professional and personal development in addition to social justice opportunities. Together we build strong networks and break down barriers.
Grantmaking
Grantmaking allows us to strategically lift up innovative approaches to gender, racial, economic and social justice. Community members have the power to support powerful ideas that can lead to long term sustainable change.
Leading
We are on the frontlines educating and advocating for courageous and outside-the-box ideas. Our leadership and training programs engage women and girls in hands-on creation and exploration of their dreams and ideas for a more equitable and just society.
