About Women Donors Network
Women Donors Network uses collective giving to move substantial resources into reproductive justice, democracy, climate justice, and racial and economic justice. A defining example is the $1.85 million grant to Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc for the Emergent Fund, paired with repeated support for abortion-access infrastructure and civic participation work. The foundation’s recent grants show a strong preference for movement infrastructure rather than isolated projects: Wdn Action received $350,000 in 2025 for nonpartisan advocacy and civic engagement grants and programs, while the network also backed secure-election work through New Venture Fund and the Center for Technology and Civic Life. Their public summary emphasizes advancing gender, racial, economic, and climate justice by channeling resources in solidarity with movements that transform people, culture, systems, policies, political infrastructure, and political possibilities. The grant list also shows how Women Donors Network supports practical access points inside those movements. In reproductive health, it funds abortion funds, clinics, and information-sharing infrastructure; in democracy work, it supports election infrastructure and civic participation; and in worker justice, it backs organizations organizing for safety and economic rights. The pattern is institutional, movement-based, and focused on infrastructure that can sustain advocacy over time.
What Women Donors Network Funds
In reproductive justice, Women Donors Network funds both direct service and infrastructure. It gave $300,000 to Women's Health Center of West Virginia Inc for general support, $300,000 to Yellowhammer Fund for West Alabama Women’s Center, and $185,000 to New York Abortion Access Fund for general support. Its democracy and civic participation work includes election systems and public participation. The foundation granted $666,000 to Global Impact for Court Accountability Alliance, $300,000 to New Venture Fund for Trusted Elections Fund, and $188,675 to Center for Technology and Civic Life for general support. Women Donors Network also supports worker and economic justice. It gave $150,000 to Faith in Public Life for general support, $175,000 to Tba Fund Inc for general support, and $150,000 to Our Justice for general support, reflecting a grantmaking pattern that centers organizing and movement capacity. Climate and environmental justice also appear through its member-led impact collective, which is designed to elevate women and gender-expansive leadership in climate work and support communities facing environmental harms.
