Women’s Foundation California

Who We Are

The Women's Foundation California (WFC) is committed to advancing gender, racial, and economic justice through strategic investments in community-led organizations and leadership training. Operating entirely remotely within California, WFC fosters an inclusive workplace that encourages applications from people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others with marginalized identities.

As a values-driven organization, we recognize that lasting social change comes from empowering communities to lead their own transformation. Our approach combines direct funding, capacity building, and strategic advocacy to create systemic impact across California.

What We Do

WFC invests in, trains, and connects community leaders to drive systemic change. We provide grants to community-led organizations, train leaders through the Solís Policy Institute, and convene advocates, donors, policymakers, and other stakeholders to strengthen the social justice movement in California.

Our work is grounded in the belief that equitable solutions arise from community-driven initiatives. By supporting grassroots organizations with both funding and capacity-building resources, we help amplify the voices of those most impacted by inequity. Through our leadership training programs, we develop the next generation of social justice leaders equipped to tackle California's most pressing challenges.
