“We must prepare the future for now.” We honored The National Philanthropic Collaborative of Young Women’s Initiatives at the 2026 Celebrating Women® Breakfast this May. As Ruby Bright, retired President of the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis and a member of The Collaborative, reflected, lasting change grows from building a cohort of people committed to shaping the future in the present.

Members of The Collaborative have championed collective action and community-driven investment as essential to advancing opportunity for women and girls.

"It’s a powerful and beautiful thing to watch as people realize they are the leaders they’ve been waiting for.”

Leah Greenberg, co-founder and co-Executive Director of Indivisible Guide, took to the stage as 2026 Celebrating Women® Award Honoree and reflected how transformative change happens when people recognize the power they already hold to lead, organize, and strengthen their communities.

Through her work, Leah has helped inspire countless women to step into leadership, proving that the skills, relationships, and courage to create change often begin within.

Climate justice starts with visibility. 💙

Commissioned by The Foundation, The Invisible Womxn is a landscape analysis that centers the stories, labor, and expertise of New Yorkers whose frontline climate work often goes unrecognized in official data and funding decisions. As a first step toward change, this report makes visible what has too often been overlooked.

Today we gathered to share this report and continue the conversation. Thank you to our panelists Tiasia Obrien-Shah (Report Author), Allyson Martinez (Brooklyn Level Up), and Elizabeth Yeampierre (UPROSE and Climate Justice Alliance). The Foundation's very own Cecilia Cortes Vila, Associate Director of Programs, moderated the discussion, which reinforced a key message of the report: those most affected by the climate crisis must be at the center of shaping the response.

Pride is power. 🌈 This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, joy, and resilience of LGBTQ+ communities while recommitting to a future where all women, girls, transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people can thrive.

Pride is more than a celebration. It is a reminder that equality, dignity, and authentic self-expression are rights that must be protected for everyone. As communities continue to face barriers to safety, healthcare, and opportunity, the need for solidarity and action remains as important as ever.

Rooted in a legacy of courage and advocacy, Pride continues to inspire movements for justice and belonging. Together, we can help create a world where everyone is free to live openly and authentically.

As Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month draws to a close, The New York Women’s Foundation continues to celebrate the leadership, resilience, and impact of AAPI communities across New York City.

We are honored to stand alongside partners including Laal NYC, Mekong NYC, Red Canary Song, and The WOW Project whose work continues to support AAPI New Yorkers, providing direct services, enabling mutual aid, and creating a safety net for immigrant workers rooted in community power.

As early believers and lasting funders, we remain committed to investing in organizations creating more inclusive futures for women, gender-expansive people and their families.
