Who We Are and What We Do

We are a chapter of the premier, global women-led philanthropic movement to “give where we live.” 

We connect, empower, and transform: we connect members to each other, to NYC nonprofits and the communities they serve and empower diverse women across the five boroughs to be changemakers.

We actively seek to engage members from all backgrounds and neighborhoods, ensuring that our collective giving model benefits from a wide range of perspectives and experiences. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion informs our decision-making and strengthens our impact. 

We are women united by a collaborative approach to charitable giving. By aggregating individual donations of $1,000, we make significant, high-impact grants to nonprofits focused on improving lives and communities across New York City. 

Through collective giving, we amplify each woman’s contribution of $1,000 and provide meaningful grants to organizations that are creating innovative and transformational programs in NYC. 

Granting over $1M to outstanding nonprofits in just four years, we have been inspired by steadfast dedication to helping people and communities thrive.dedicated to reflecting the rich diversity of our city in every aspect of our work.

Working together, we draw from our professional and personal experiences to operate an all-volunteer organization, to learn from each other, and to become energized and educated change-making philanthropists.

You decide how to get involved. There are many ways: helping identify potential grantees, participating in grant proposal reviews, casting a vote at our annual event and/or participating in community service. Whatever you choose, you will be part of driving positive change and lasting impact.
