Kisha McCoy's story is a reminder of why survivors' voices matter. 💜 With advocacy from Survivors Justice Project (SJP), a community partner supported by The New York Women's Foundation, Kisha was released from prison early and reunited with her family.

At our 2026 Celebrating Women® Breakfast, she took the stage to share her story.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we recognize Kisha's courage and the work of community partners like SJP, whose advocacy challenges the criminalization of survivors.

Still feeling inspired by our recent Emerging Leaders Network gathering with Ana L. Oliveira, President & CEO of The New York Women's Foundation. ❤️

Ana left us with so much to reflect on: lead with clarity, purpose, and authenticity; build meaningful relationships; and never forget to celebrate the joy along the way.

Thank you, Ana, for inspiring and igniting the next generation of NYC leaders. See the full recap at: https://youtu.be/xrkLKWw_5xc?si=8Ke2L4vKuVXPMPr1

What does culturally affirming health and wellness look like for Indigenous New Yorkers? Urban Indigenous Collective (UIC) is doing that work through community-based research, advocacy, and programming.

This Indigenous Peoples' Day, we recognize UIC, a community partner of The New York Women's Foundation. Working in Lenapehoking (Manhattan and the greater NYC area), UIC advances culturally affirming health and wellness for urban Indigenous communities.

At The Foundation, we believe communities know what they need. That's why we support organizations like UIC, trusting their leadership and putting resources behind the work they are already doing.

On International Day of the Girl, we are reminded that a girl’s future is shaped not only by her dreams, but by the support systems that help her realize them.

At The New York Women's Foundation, we believe that when mothers and caregivers thrive, families and communities grow stronger. We support community-led solutions that help women, girls, and gender-expansive people access the care, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive.
