To strengthen the global finance industry by empowering women to achieve their professional potential at each career stage; advance gender equity in finance through education, peer engagement, and impact initiatives guided by Vision 30/40.
100 Women in Finance Foundation centers its grantmaking on organizations that prepare teenage girls and young women for careers in finance. Since focused grantmaking began in 2020, the foundation has paired direct support with programming, visibility, and resources for women in asset management and women-led funds through its FundWomen initiative, while also backing external partners that can leverage 100 Women in Finance members. Recent grants show a consistent interest in education and pipeline-building: Girls Who Invest received $40,000 in 2024, and Rock the Street Wall Street received $25,000 in 2024. The foundation also supports organizations working on economic education and career exposure, including Council for Economic Education and The Joyce Ivy Foundation. Its stated goal is to strengthen the global finance industry by helping women advance at each career stage, with education, peer engagement, and impact initiatives tied to Vision 30/40. In practice, that means funding groups that build early access to finance, support professional development, and connect participants to mentors and industry networks. The portfolio reflects a mix of direct service support, capacity strengthening, and unrestricted-style organizational funding across a set of education and workforce-development partners.
A major thread in the foundation’s giving is pre-career pipeline development. It gave $40,000 to Girls Who Invest Inc in 2024 and $25,000 to Rock the Street Wall Street in 2024, both labeled support for organizations working to empower women. Another clear area is finance education: Council for Economic Education received $25,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2023 for the same purpose. The foundation also backs STEM-to-finance pathways, including $20,000 in 2024 to Stem for Her Foundation and $20,000 in 2023 to the same organization. Alongside that, it supports groups building broader access to career exploration and mentorship, such as The Joyce Ivy Foundation and University Impact, both appearing in the recent-grants list.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-teens: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $15,000, and the 75th percentile is $20,000. The recent list shows repeat support for several recipients across 2023 and 2024, including Girls Who Invest Inc, Stem for Her Foundation, The Joyce Ivy Foundation, Council for Economic Education, Educate Girls Globally Inc, Wall Street Bound, University Impact, and The Sadie Collective. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a regular funder and gives as a nonprofit foundation, not through individual support or program-related investments. Some of its active programs also accept unsolicited submissions, including Become a Program Partner and FundWomen.
