The Boston Women's Fund supports community-based organizations and grassroots initiatives run by women and girls in order to create a society based on racial, economic and social justice.Core Values of the Boston Women's Fund: 1. We believe that change starts at the grassroots level, and systemic change is necessary to achieve racial, economic and social justice2. We believe that power and wealth must be redistributed to attain equity and systemic change3.We believe that the fight for women's rights is an integral part of a larger struggle to end oppression based on race, class, gender, age, religion, ability or sexual orientation4.We believe all movements must combat racism by being racially and culturally diverse in both membership and leadership if progressive change is to occur5.We believe that women and girls of color as well as those of extremely low-income must and can be leaders within all movements if progressive change is to occur6.We believe that educating and organizing a diverse donor base is a critical strategy for amassing broad support for social change movements7. We strive to reflect our commitment to shared leadership, equity and cultural diversity in all aspects of our operations
