Atlanta Women's Foundation
Buckhead
The Atlanta Women’s Foundation exists to help women and girls thrive. As a catalyst for change in the lives of women and girls, AWF plays an essential role in helping more women and girls of metro Atlanta live safe, economically self-sufficient, and vibrant lives. When you invest through AWF, your impact on women and girls goes further, creating more resilient, stable families and communities for everyone.
As of 2019, 17% of women live below the poverty line in metro Atlanta. Additionally, girls are more likely to live in poverty than boys.
Low-income women are twice as likely to suffer from mental illness as women above the poverty line.
Philanthropic giving to women’s and girls’ organizations represents just 2% of total charitable donations in the United States. This suggests the needs of women and girls are undervalued and the unique challenges they face are being left largely unaddressed.
That’s why the Atlanta Women’s Foundation exists. Our unwavering mission is to be a catalyst of change for women and girls, actively and purposefully driving positive transformations in their lives. To do this, we raise funds that amplify the work of strategic nonprofits serving Atlanta.
