Grantmaking for social change
JWFA seeks to advance Social Change by:
- Creating long-term, systemic changes in the lives of Jewish women and girls and their communities

- Identifying and testing innovative programming solutions
- Facilitating leadership development as well as the self-empowerment efforts of Jewish women and girls
Grantmaking Through a Gender Lens
Gender Lens philanthropy considers the influence of gender and its impact on people of all genders during the philanthropic process. A Gender Lens view builds on the needs, strengths, perspectives, and experiences of women and girls.
JWFA's Gender Lens Approach
- Funding organizations that empower women and girls and work for gender equity
- Conducting gender analysis of issues to ensure the needs of women, men, and gender-diverse people are considered
- Addressing gender-specific needs in programs that focus on women and girls
