Why Invest in Women?

ECONOMIC STABILITY

Black women experience job losses and larger increases in unemployment than other ethnic groups. Black women are head of black families with children, and are more economically vulnerable.

IT'S EMPOWERING

Only 7% of all philanthropic dollars are allocated to address needs specific to women and girls; that amount is barely enough to meaningfully address the deep and complex challenges they face.

DECREASE POVERTY

Women-headed families with children under age 18 have considerably higher poverty rates than all women-led families overall, regionally and nationally.
