New York Women's Foundation Announces Systemic Impact Grant Guidelines

The New York Women's Foundation, a cross-cultural alliance of women helping low-income women and girls in New York City to achieve sustained economic security through expanded opportunities, has announced a new and specific investment in systemic impact strategies.

The foundation will provide grants ranging from $100,000 to $150,000 over two years to launch and expand policy initiatives and scale innovative solutions that eliminate barriers and create opportunities for sustainable economic security for women, girls, and gender non-conforming communities in New York City.

Grants will be made to support policy initiatives, community organizing, advocacy efforts, and scaling models with a focus on anti-violence and safety; economic security; and health, sexual rights, and reproductive justice. Applicant organizations must explicitly address strategies to achieve equity and fairer policies for communities marginalized by gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, religion, or immigration and citizenship status.

Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations with a proven track record of at least one year of operations not currently be funded by the New York Women's Foundation.
