For over thirty-seven years, CFW has been the only organization in the region to take a comprehensive approach to understand and address the challenges and needs women and girls face through every stage of their lives with a focus on economic security, freedom from violence, and access to health care services and information. CFW works with a community of socially-minded investors who share our passion for improving the lives of women, girls, trans, and gender nonbinary people and ensures that every dollar they give achieves maximum impact. We hold ourselves and our grantees to a high standard, conducting rigorous evaluation, careful monitoring, and community-centered results. CFW also invests in the future of organizations through leadership development and building sustainable nonprofit infrastructure. As a result, two-thirds of nonprofits for which CFW was the first institutional funder are still thriving TEN years after receiving their first CFW grant.
This 501(c)(3) elected the 501(h) safe-harbor — lobbying expenditures are capped under a clear dollar formula instead of the "insubstantial part" standard.
