How We Create Change

Personal & Professional Development

Through JWFA’s Agents of Change Training (ACT) program and Women’s Leadership Grants (WLGs), we invest directly in women in our local community.

"When I joined as a Trustee, what I hoped for was a community of smart, engaged women who want to give back to our community, and that's what this is. Our role in social change is a huge privilege, and I never take that for granted."

Discover Opportunities for Growth

JWFA's three pillars work together to create amplified impact:

  • Strategic grantmaking leverages our diverse Trustee perspectives to make impactful funding decisions
  • Education & Advocacy deepens our community's understanding of the challenges we address and ways to create social change
  • Leadership Development creates a multiplier effect – training women who drive change in their communities

This collaborative approach ensures every dollar granted, every program delivered, and every leader developed contributes to a larger ecosystem of change. Together, we're not just funding solutions – we're creating a more equitable world.
