The Foundation for Women is a nonprofit organization that strives to continually support and encourage impoverished women, both globally and locally, by funding and creating microcredit programs. By providing these women with the funds and proper tools for a successful business endeavor, they are able to support their families and help their local communities grow.

Since the Foundation for Women’s establishment in 1997, the organization has supplied eligible women with microcredit loans, as well as motivational programs. These programs educate all participants about financial and business management in which the participants come together to learn and support each other in their ventures. By giving women loans that help them put their dreams into action, the microcredit programs not only inspire the women but instill a sense of pride in their work and communities. Loans are funded through individual contributions, memberships, grants and corporate donations.

Whether women use their loans to sell handcrafted merchandise or to buy and resell goods, each loan puts them one step closer to success and gives them a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

Get Involved
In order for the Foundation for Women to succeed in granting impoverished women microcredit loans, our organization is heavily dependent on the generosity and involvement of our communities. Our foundation provides a number of ways for interested community members to get involved in the fight to alleviate poverty among women, including coffee purchases, hosting parties, volunteering, donations, and spreading the word.
