Women United
Striving for racial and financial equity, Women United sees a community where all women have a path to financial stability, and all children have access to high-quality early childhood care and education. As a collective giving group, we invest in local programs that help women and children build a foundation for a thriving future.

The Purpose of Women United
When women join together as changemakers and invest in and support other women, they can solve issues no one can solve alone. Our members collaborate to allocate funding that leads to better early childhood education outcomes for kids and greater economic stability for women. This funding allows programs to test and scale innovative approaches that will fuel lasting change.
