Mission Statement

The Long Island Fund for Women and Girls funds programs that improve the lives of women and girls, highlights and addresses women's issues, and develops women's philanthropy.

Our Vision

We share a common vision with women's funds throughout the country. Our vision is a world of justice and opportunity for women and girls, where we are paid equitably for work, live in homes and communities without fear of violence, have equal voices in the political process and serve as the primary decision makers about issues that affect us.

Gender Equity in Education The goal of the Gender Equity in Education Project is to partner with Long Island School Districts and the Business Community, to be a resource to schools in examining their practices and programs for gender fairness and a resource to business to promote best practices. Our programs and collaborations provide opportunities for on-site school seminar settings, college on-campus conferences and business information settings.
