Protect and advance gender, racial, economic, and climate justice by channeling collective power and resources in solidarity with movements to transform people, culture, systems, policies, political infrastructure, and political possibilities.
Women Donors Network Action channels large, typically six-figure grants into movement infrastructure for gender, racial, economic, and climate justice. The recent grant list shows a strong emphasis on voter protection and civic power, with funding to groups such as Georgia Investor Action Fund Inc, Our Voice Our Vote Arizona, and New Georgia Project Action Fund. It also backs organizations working on immigrant and multiracial organizing, women’s leadership in climate work, and economic justice for workers. The foundation’s stated approach is not limited to one issue area; instead, it supports connected efforts to transform policies, political infrastructure, and possibilities across multiple justice movements. Its grants are often general support or primary-purpose support, which suggests flexibility for grantees to direct resources where they are most useful. The organization also uses named funding initiatives such as Rapid Response Fund, Woven Futures Fund, Safe & Sustainable Future for All Impact Collective, Participation & Representation for All Impact Collective, and Opportunity & Equality for All Impact Collective. Several recent grants recur across years, including support for groups in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and organizations tied to Asian American power and Native political leadership. That pattern points to sustained relationships rather than isolated one-off awards.
In democracy and voter protection work, Women Donors Network Action funded Our Voice Our Vote Arizona, Ncaat in Action, and Asian American Advocacy Fund Inc for primary-purpose and general support tied to voter justice and civic engagement. In immigrant and racial justice organizing, it gave Make the Road Action Inc and Down Home North Carolina Inc broad support for movement work in Nevada, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. The foundation also backs Asian American political power through Center for Empowered Politics, including support for the Asian American Power Network. Economic justice shows up in grants such as Family Friendly Action Fund for the Campaign for Family Friendly Economy and Tides Advocacy for the Advance Native Political Leadership Action Fund. Climate and environmental justice are part of the portfolio as well, reflected in the Safe & Sustainable Future for All Impact Collective and its focus on women’s leadership in the climate movement. Across these areas, the grants point to policy advocacy, leadership development, and organizing.
