Our Grantmaking Impact

At The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio, we’re focused on the future. That’s why we’ve invested over $4.2 million in long-term solutions to address the issues facing women and girls today. By focusing our impact in five priority areas, we’re making significant strides toward gender equity. Social change can take many years, even generations, but our investments are creating a new future for Central Ohio.
