Guided by research that identifies the barriers to women’s economic security and success, Texas Women’s Foundation (TXWF), collectively with its donors, giving circle supporters and philanthropic partners invested $6 million in 2023-24 to advance its mission. Of that total, The Foundation distributed $4.9 million in grants to women- and girl-serving organizations, including $876,540 to 23 nonprofits impacting approximately 13,000 women and girls in North Texas.
Karen Hughes White, Texas Women’s Foundation president and CEO, said, “As a statewide organization, Texas Women’s Foundation believes in the power of collective philanthropy to catalyze change. Since 1985, we’ve invested nearly $85 million toward achieving our vision for an equitable society in which women and girls can fully participate. And while we’ve made great progress, Texas women and girls have never needed us more! We are grateful for the donors, supporters and partners who share our vision and make our work possible.”
