Why We Exist

There is a critical need to help women and girls in the greater Capital Region.

Did you know:

• the fastest-growing population of homeless people in the capital region is comprised of women and girls?

• 20% of female-headed households in the capital region live in poverty?

• Fewer than 6% of charitable support in the U.S. goes to programs specifically serving the needs of women and girls?

By working together through the Women’s Fund of the Capital Region, we have the power to strengthen lives and create a better community.
