Texas' economy is first in the nation (WalletHub, 2024), yet we rank 49th in the nation for women's access to health care. In addition, we have the highest percentage of uninsured women in the US. (Commonwealth Hub, 2024) With women representing 46% of the Texas workforce, it imperative that we invest in removing their barriers to their economic security and success. With a generous matching gift of $25,000, we’re hoping to raise $50,000 for Texas women and girls on North Texas Giving Day and we’re counting on you! Texas women and girls have never needed us more!
As Texas Women’s Foundation nears its 40th year, it is clear that now more than ever is the time to elevate Texas women. By working with women, families and communities, we are building a stronger, more equitable Texas. TXWF raises funding from a broad base of donors, including individuals, foundations and corporations. These resources support more than $6M in investments that advance economic security and leadership for Texas women and girls through timely research, advocacy, grants and strategic initiatives. Since inception in 1985, TXWF has invested nearly $84M in women and girls. Our statewide research on issues affecting women and girls provides decision-makers and lawmakers with critical data to inform policies, practices and programs in the state.
We invest in advocacy, grantmaking and leadership initiatives to support solutions that help Texas women and girls thrive. In addition, Texas Women’s Foundation is an acknowledged leader and advocate in the gender lens investing movement and has deployed 100 percent of its invested assets – endowments, operating investments and donor-advised funds – in a gendered impact portfolio that yields strong financial returns and social benefits to women and girls.
We invite you to join us as we lift up Texas women, ultimately creating a more inclusive and resilient Texas for all!
Texas Women's Foundation advances economic and leadership opportunities for women, girls and families to build stronger, more equitable communities.
