2018 Impact Report

Every $1 invested creates $6.62 for women in So AZ

In April, the Women’s Foundation released our 2018 WFSA Impact Report, quantifying how we are making measurable changes in the lives of women and their families.

In 2017, through our grantmaking program, WFSA invested over $700,000 that helped 9,286 women and girls increase their income and assets by $4.6 million through higher wages, decreased debt and increased savings.

As a result of WFSA’s new outcomes measures initiative, every $1 invested creates $6.62 for women in Southern Arizona. Read more.

In the last 10 years, our grantmaking has tripled. Yet, less than 8% of our all foundation giving in the U.S. goes to women and girls. We are so grateful to our donors for working to change this.
