We are a small private foundation whose purpose is to support and empower women to be a positive force in shaping themselves, their families & communities and the environment we share.
Our vision is to think globally and leverage our resources to catalyze innovative efforts where small grants can make a difference. (Most of our grantmaking is to groups with annual budgets of less $1M.
We are grateful to a family member whose generosity allowed us to commence the Foundation in 2006, and we revere that memory by honoring his love of dixieland jazz.
