Women's Philanthropy
Philanthropy is at the core of AWF’s mission to be a catalyst for change in the lives of women and girls. We believe philanthropy is that catalyst. Joining our resources increases our collective impact and helps to create positive, sustainable change for Atlanta’s women and girls.
AWF works alongside many organizations dedicated to both increasing the impact of women in philanthropy and providing philanthropic dollars to programs supporting women and girls. Click here to read a recent article on the history of women's philanthropy in the southeast featuring AWF.
AWF is one of six women's funds who explored the connections between Faith, Feminism and Philanthropy, through a four-year initiative funded by the Ruth Ray Hunt Memorial Fund. Read how this ground-breaking national initiative brought together women from diverse backgrounds in respectful dialogue.

Women & Philanthropy

Since 1977, Women & Philanthropy has been a network and a voice for positive change in the field of philanthropy. Through research, events, services and a network of members the organization helps increase both the amount of philanthropic dollars awarded to women and girls and the number of women working at all levels in the field of philanthropy.
Women’s Funding Network
As a worldwide partnership of women's funds, donors, and allies committed to social justice, the Women's Funding Network seeks to ensure that women's funds are recognized as the "investment of choice" for people who value the full participation of women and girls. Founded in 1985, the Women's Funding Network (WFN) is an international organization with over 100 member funds (and 20 associate members) that are committed to improving the status of women and girls locally, nationally and globally. WFN works to strengthen and empower member funds.
