The Women's Fund of Mississippi

The Women’s Fund of Mississippi is the only grantmaking organization in Mississippi entirely dedicated to funding programs that improve the lives of women and girls statewide. A group of women started the Women’s Fund as a field-of-interest fund within the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson in 2002.

In April 2009, the Women’s Fund became an independent nonprofit, separate from the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson. The Fund has since expanded its work to include the entire state, not just the Jackson area.
