The Valentine Foundation has advocated for social change on behalf of women and girls through responsive, responsible grantmaking for over 25 years. We are committed to:

• Identifying and nurturing organizations and initiatives that empower women and girls and achieve the tangible results required for sustainable social change;
• Developing and supporting the next generation of leaders in the field of social change for women and girls through the Fund for Visionary Leadership;
• Facilitating collaborative efforts among our grantees and the broader philanthropic community that will improve the lives of women and girls.

We evaluate grants based on their adherence to specific “Social Change Indicators” outlined by the Women’s Funding Network. For complete information on our grantmaking, visit the Grantmaking section of our Web site.
