A grantmaker dedicated to increasing resources & opportunities for Chicago-area women and girls.

Chicago Foundation for Women raises money to fund and support organizations that help women and girls—it's all about making smarter connections between need, money and solutions. We believe that when women and girls are secure, whole communities are made better.

We are a community of people who share the excitement of giving to help women and girls thrive. We improve the lives of women and girls through grants, advocacy, leadership development, and public and grantee education. Since 1985, we have given more than 2,800 grants totaling more than $17 million and helped thousands of women and girls become philanthropists.

Our grants focus on three strategies to improve women's and girls' lives:

* Expanding economic security
* Ensuring freedom from violence
* Enhancing access to health services and information
