About the Ms. Foundation

The Ms. Foundation for Women, Inc., founded in 1972 with headquarters in New York City, is the first and the leading national women’s philanthropy. We lift women’s and girls’ voices and promote their power to create a more equitable society. The Ms. Foundation for Women provides approximately $4 million in grants and practical training to community-based and national activist women’s organizations throughout the U.S. each year.

Our support makes these organizations stronger and more capable of driving social change and public policy advances in the areas of health and safety, economic security, and women’s and girls’ leadership. The Foundation is the creator of the award-winning national public education program, Take Our Daughters To Work® Day, which began in 1993 and evolved to Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work® Day in 2003.
