Organization Details
For over thirty-nine years, cfw has been the only organization in the region to take a comprehensive approach to understand and address the challenges and needs women and girls face through every stage of their lives with a focus on economic security, freedom from violence, and access to healthcare services and information. cfw works with a community of socially-minded investors who share our passion for improving the lives of women, girls, trans, and gender non-binary people and ensures that every dollar they give achieves maximum impact. we hold ourselves and our grantees to a high standard: conducting rigorous evaluation, careful monitoring, and achieving community-centered results. cfw also invests in the future of organizations through leadership development and building sustainable nonprofit infrastructure. as a result, two-thirds of nonprofits for which cfw was the first institutional funder are still thriving ten years after receiving their first cfw grant.
