Thank you for supporting the Fund for Women & Girls 2021 Virtual Celebration on April 16, 2021. Your unwavering dedication has fueled more than $8 million in grants over two decades to improve the future for tens of thousands of women and girls.
By helping women improve their lives, we also strengthen families and communities.
Through our Fund for Women & Girls, philanthropists are coming together to invest in sustainable solutions that support the safety, health and economic security of women and girls across Fairfield County. As part of the larger women’s movement, the Fund makes a greater impact by partnering in national coalitions such as Women’s Funding Network and Prosperity Together – working for progress on issues like closing the pay gap and creating pathways to economic security for low-income women and families.
