The Women’s Fund was established in 2000 by the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester with the vision of helping women within our community. Starting with 100 women, our goal was to make a difference in the lives of women and their families.
Commit to something meaningful! Join us in making an investment in women of the Greater Rochester area. Let’s work together to make a difference in the lives of local women for today and years to come.
Women’s Fund grants assist women in dire need and work with local non-profits to empower women and their children to strengthen their lives through focused programs and academic scholarships.
The Women’s Fund awarded a grant to the Older Persons Commission in support of its Acts of Kindness Program which provides assistance for minor home repairs and chores that enable local seniors to continue living independently in their own home as long as possible. Thanks to the generosity of The Women’s Fund, 92 year old Anita received a wheelchair ramp. She was thrilled to be able to leave her house safely for doctor appointments and more. Thank you to The Women’s Fund for supporting the seniors in our community.
