Your Part Matters!
When finding meaningful employment feels impossible, she doesn’t need charity, she needs a community.
If you’re looking for a place where you can actually make a difference, where a little goes a long way, this is it.
Living here is expensive. For women, it’s even more. In San Francisco, everyday costs stack up. Then childcare, the “pink tax,” and persistent pay gaps make it harder still. And while women have made some gains at work, women’s day-to-day experiences have not largely improved from a decade ago. That's why our programs focus on practical support that changes what’s possible. Approximately 50% of our clients live in poverty. Help them take the next step. Open a door. Invest in women. Invest in our Bay Area community. Your gift helps pave the way to careers, mentorship, and independence, and helps ensure that the Bay Area’s story of innovation includes everyone.The women we serve need your help - make a donation by 12/31/2025.
