We’re proud to honor New Yorkers for Equal Rights as a 2025 Celebrating Women Award recipient!​

This powerful coalition of 500+ civil and reproductive rights organizations led the charge to pass Proposal 1—the New York Equal Rights Amendment, a historic victory for justice and equality in our state.​

Thanks to their tireless organizing and grassroots mobilization, New York’s constitution now explicitly protects against discrimination based on ethnicity, national origin, age,
disability, s*x, s*xual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, and more.​

Join us this May to celebrate their incredible work at our Celebrating Women Breakfast!​

This Earth Day we recognize the deep connection between environmental justice and gender justice 🌍

Women, girls, and gender-expansive people—especially in communities of color—are often on the frontlines of climate change and environmental harm. Yet they are also leading bold solutions rooted in care, sustainability, and community.

At The Foundation, we’re proud to support grassroots leaders working at the intersection of both people and the planet. A thriving future is possible—and it starts with investing in those closest to the solutions.

Speak out, speak up 📣

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and this year’s theme, Embrace Your Voice, is a call to speak out against s*xual and speak up for survivors.

Your voice can make a difference—whether you’re shutting down harmful myths, promoting everyday consent, or standing up to victim blaming. Let’s use our words to build a culture of safety, respect, and equality. Together, we can create a culture that doesn’t tolerate s*xual violence.

We know one month isn’t enough—but April is a powerful opportunity to expand awareness and action.
