2024 CAMPAIGN UPDATES
EMPOWER grassroots organizations led by women & girls of color.
4,881 grant awards to grassroots leaders to date, with new grantee partners coming soon as we launch Ms. Midwest.
EXPAND the gender equity movement.
With the generous support of allies in this movement, spanning multiple generations and transformative legacy gifts, we are on track to reach our $100M goal by June 2024 when this campaign closes:
$83,134,816 raised with your support
With this, Ms. Foundation can continue to close the funding gap, supporting more grantee partners who serve their communities and protect rights every day.

Building upon our groundbreaking research, we recently published Living With Pocket Change: What It Means to Do More With Less, a study that examines the impact and real life experiences of chronic philanthropic underinvestment and disinvestment in the leadership of women and nonbinary people of color. This report includes actionable recommendations for effective philanthropy, moving beyond trust and towards care.
