Texas Women's Foundation

Texas Women's Foundation Texas Women's Foundation strengthens communities throughout the state by increasing the investment in women and girls and empowering women's philanthropy.

Texas Women’s Foundation was founded on the belief that when you invest in a woman, there is a ripple effect that benefits her family, her community and her world. We’ve researched, funded and demonstrated the ripple effect for 28 years in North Texas, granting more than $24 million to help create opportunities and solve issues for women and girls. We operate like a community foundation, conductin

g our work and making grants with funds we raise from a broad base of individual donors and from donor advised funds held by the Foundation. Together with our donors and partners, we are the key that unlocks the ripple effect of investment in women and girls. Today, the ripple effect of investing in women is widely acknowledged in global and domestic economic policy and social change movements as one of the surest and most effective ways to create lasting change in communities and countries. We are unwavering in our commitment to unlock resources for women and girls in our region, our state and around the world. We are dedicated to increasing investment in the ripple effect, to improve education and quality of life, give voice to issues impacting women and girls, and cultivate women leaders for the future.

🎬 : When Meryl Streep shared that she asked to double her salary for The Devil Wears Prada 2 movie, she also shared an important lesson about knowing your worth and advocating for equitable pay.

At Texas Women’s Foundation, we know the fight for is about far more than a paycheck. It’s about economic security, opportunity, and creating stronger futures for women, girls, and families across Texas.

Texas women stand to lose an estimated $750,000 in earnings over their lifetimes because of the gender . That’s money that could help buy homes, support childcare, send children to college, and build generational wealth. According to our recent research, the gender wage gap resulted in $60.1 billion in lost earnings in 2024 alone, dollars not reinvested back into Texas communities, families, and our economy.
