New York Women's Foundation

The New York Women's Foundation (NYWF) is a 501c3 charitable organization in New York City that works to bring economic security, end gender-based violence, and provide health access and reproductive justice to all women and girls.[1] It describes itself as a "cross-cultural alliance that ignites action and invests in bold, community-led solutions across the city."[2]

It was established in 1987.[3] It was co-founded by Gloria W. Milliken and Helen LaKelly Hunt.[4][5][6] By 2007, it was giving away a million dollars a year.[4][7][8][9] In 2008, it was slated to give away $2.75 million.[10] In 2011, Ana Oliveira was president of the New York Women’s Foundation.[11][12] In February 2013 it received a grant of $750,000 from Walmart.[13] In April 2013, it released a report that found that women in New York are 30% more likely to die in childbirth than they were 12 years prior.[14]

In 2018, The Foundation announced the launch of the Fund to Support the Me Too Movement in partnership with Me Too Movement Founder and Leader Tarana Burke[15] with an initial $1 million in seed funding. In October 2018, the Fund gave out its first round of grants to eight organizations across the nation that are working to end gender-based violence and help survivors of sexual violence heal and find their strength as leaders.[16] The groups, chosen in consultation with #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, are focused on marginalized and underserved communities, including immigrant communities and communities of color as well as LGBTQ people.[17]
