Women's Foundation of Genesee

The Women's Foundation of Genesee Valley manages a grantmaking endowment, which is designated for providing grants to nonprofits that align with our mission. We consider this to be our second arm of programming. Each year, our grantmaking efforts directly impact more than 20,000 women and girls in the Greater Rochester Area, including families and community members who gain from stronger, more accessible systems of support. This managed endowment is solely dedicated to grantmaking, ensuring that funds entrusted to us continue to strengthen the region's nonprofit network for generations to come.(Continued on Schedule O)While the endowment is used to support other organizations, the Women's Foundation of Genesee Valley remains responsible for actively fundraising to sustain its own programs and initiatives. This program is supported by net investment returns.
