The Women's Funding Alliance is a non-profit organization that promotes justice, health and opportunities by funding agencies serving women and girls in Puget Sound.

Our efforts are focused on three key areas:

• Strengthening and supporting 33 diverse agencies through strategic funding and capacity building.
• Educating and engaging the community by articulating the underlying issues affecting women and girls and giving voice to our funded agencies.
• Advancing philanthropy by providing opportunities for individuals and organizations to create positive social change for women and girls.

Much of the work of the Women's Funding Alliance is focused on providing funding to agencies and individuals. The funds that the Alliance provides are distributed in the following ways:

Federation Funding
As a federation of agencies serving women and girls, the Women's Funding Alliance offers ongoing support to 21 affiliated agencies through workplace giving campaigns. Many of these organizations might not otherwise have access to such sustained funding. By raising and distributing funds to these affiliated organizations, the Alliance helps more than 10,000 women and children each year through crisis lines, educational programs, support groups, advocacy and training.

Grant Making Program
The Women's Funding Alliance granting program supports agencies that promote positive social change for women and girls. Grants are awarded once a year, in the fall, in the following areas: general operating support, capacity building, project specific and population specific.

Donor Designation Funding
WFA awards donor-designated gifts to agencies or causes specifically identified by donors.
