NEVERTHELESS, WE WILL PERSIST. We have ramped up our work because we believe that economic security, freedom from violence, and enhanced access to health services and information benefit all women and girls. 

NEVERTHELESS, WE WILL GIVE. In 2022, we awarded $3.4 million in responsive and strategic grants to 258 non-profits.
