This is Our Roadmap

To a Feminist Future

We're On
Our Way

Women of color and gender expansive folks know the way forward.

At Women’s Foundation California, our path to a feminist future is integrated and our approach is intersectional.

Rooted in our values, we’ve built a strategic roadmap for the next three years to build towards that future.
