A Closer Look at NY Fund for Women and Girls, Co-Founded by NoVo and New York Women’s Foundation
The NYC Fund for Girls and Women of Color brings together 16 funders. This collaboration isn’t brand new, but it’s the first fund of its kind in the nation and is worth watching closely, especially for how it makes grants.
