Our Impact
2021 First Quarter Impact
The first few months of 2021 have been shaped by a rapid succession of highs and lows.
We continue to metabolize the deep pains of racial injustice and pandemic inequality alongside our great hopes for what we can accomplish when we acknowledge our interdependence. We want to reflect back on the first quarter of the year and share what our Women’s Foundation California community is building together.
Annual Report
The Women’s Foundation of California is a statewide, publicly supported foundation dedicated to achieving racial, economic, and gender justice by centering the experience and expertise of communities most impacted by systemic injustice.
