Texas Women's Foundation

**This is Our Story** As Texas Women’s Foundation (TXWF) nears its 40th year, it is clear that now more than ever is the time to create more equitable communities to build #StrongWomenBetterWorld. **Texas Women's Foundation Today** We are a leading driver of meaningful social and economic change for women, girls and families in Texas. We leverage research, advocacy, innovative programs and solutions, and grantmaking to further our mission. We work to achieve our vision of an equitable society where women and girls are full participants. We celebrate every milestone that has helped us reach this point: - We have awarded more than $85 million in grants over 39 years - This year — we have invested $6 million in strategic initiatives, programs and grants supporting women’s economic security and leadership. - We have deployed 100% of our assets — endowments, operating investments and donor-advised funds — in a gendered impact portfolio that yields strong financial returns and measurable social benefits to women and girls. As a community-supported foundation, under the collective guidance and expertise of Foundation Staff and a Board of Directors who represent the diverse interests of the communities we serve, we are sharply focused on achieving our Mission, Vision and Values. **Our History** As an organization committed to advancing economic security and leadership opportunities for women and girls, we see progress in every measure of change – even changing our name. In 2018, Dallas Women’s Foundation became Texas Women’s Foundation. This transformation honors our history and growth over 33 years as the trusted leader in advocating for and advancing social and economic change for women and girls in Texas. Becoming statewide better reflects our position as one of the largest women’s foundations in the world – in assets, impact, diversity and size – and our leadership in promoting equity and supporting solutions empowering women and families to make a better world.
