Whether impoverished or distressed, women use their experiences to bring dignity to the lives of others.
Women comprise more than half of the U.S. population but remain underrepresented in leadership positions at nonprofit organizations. To further the progress of women, the Ford Fund supports programs that empower women and girls by providing information about and access to opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t have.
To understand the challenges women face, the Ford Fund interviewed women executives at nine nonprofit organizations about the work they do, the barriers they have faced and the passion behind it all.
