Finding and funding innovation

We Invest

The Women’s Fund supports organizations in Central Ohio that are on the cutting edge of social change for women and girls. We are comfortable taking risks to invest in innovative ideas that others won’t fund yet. Women are the experts of their own lived experience. That’s why we’re working to get them the funding they deserve.

Using data to drive change

We Research

Women and girls face barriers at every phase of their life that prevent them from building wealth and becoming leaders. We back up their lived experience through groundbreaking research that proves what women already know to be true. And we help others—from community members to public officials—understand what women need to thrive.

Building an intersectional movement

We Advocate

We know that gender powerfully impacts daily life, but not every woman’s experience is the same. That’s why we use an intersectional lens in all that we do. From our educational tools to our policy-focused grant partners, we are creating a movement that reflects our community and elevates all voices.
