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. 
Despite the Bay Area’s global reputation for innovation and prosperity, more than half of women in San Francisco live in poverty, with Black and Latinx women disproportionately affected. 
In San Francisco, more than half of women live in poverty, with Black and Latinx women disproportionately affected.  
We address these inequities by equipping women with the tools, skills, and support systems required to achieve sustainable employment and long-term financial independence. 
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 paves the way to careers, mentorship, and independence, and helps ensure that the Bay Area’s story of innovation includes everyone.
