Women on the Job
The Women on the Job project has become the cornerstone of the Fund's program with effort focusing on the concept of gender equity, workplace rights awareness, advocacy and leadership being the driving factors that will move women closer to pay equity in the workplace.
Women on the Job began as a grassroots organization in 1981 and was founded by Lillian McCormick and Charlotte Shapiro.

LIFWG announces 2009-2010 Grants Program!
Social change grantmaking is one strategy the Long Island Fund for Women & Girls uses to advance equity and social justice for women and girls. Over the past seventeen years, our Fund has harnessed the collective power of Long Island women to make over $1.4 million in grants to hundreds of non-profits in Nassau and Suffolk counties to transform lives and communities. These individual grants, as a group and over time, have helped create the conditions for long-term social change right here on Long Island.
Our 2010-2011 program efforts will continue this tradition and more concretely address how nonprofit programs run for and by women can be the driving force behind greater equity and empowerment at the broader system level while also improving individual lives.
