The Women's Fund of Central Ohio : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Women's Fund of Central Ohio
Since 2001, The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio has given voice and visibility to issues that impact women and girls. The Women’s Fund is a public foundation creating gender equality and influence. As a leader of social change in our community The Women’s Fund addresses gender norms to create equality and to empower all women and girls to reach their full potential. Additionally, The Women’s Fund is committed to creating lasting social change in four priority areas: Gender Norms, Economic Self-Sufficiency for Women, Leadership for Women, and Lifeskills for Girls. Our work is guided by our research, which influences our partnerships, grant making, and advocacy efforts; all while growing women’s philanthropy and raising awareness to educate central Ohio around issues that affect women and girls. == History == On May 4, 2000, a small group of women gathered on a front porch in Granville, Ohio to discuss the idea of starting a women's fund in central Ohio. Women's funds around the country were being formed, and these women wondered if Columbus and the surrounding counties would do the same. At that time, only 7% of national foundation dollars went to programs specifically supporting women and girls. After a series of conversations and a survey of the community's women leaders, The Women's Fund of Central Ohio convened its first Board of Directors meeting in July, 2001 and opened offices in February, 2002, with 38 donors taking a leap of faith and making significant gifts in support of this brand new organization. This leap of faith created a new culture of philanthropy among women in support of programs that promised social change for women and girls in the community. Today, the original founders continue to contribute to and be a big part of The Women's Fund.
