We know that women and girls do not lack the willpower necessary to create change, they lack the financial capital to fuel their efforts.

Together let's centralize the role of women as economic, environmental, and social changemakers who are tackling big challenges of today.

Women of the World Endowment (WoWE) was created with a bold vision—centralize the role of women as economic, environmental, and social changemakers who are tackling big challenges of today. WoWE’s belief is that who allocates capital determines the purpose of capital, which drives large-scale systems change through gender diverse capital allocation.

Capital markets are underfunding the growth derived from the full participation of women changemakers. Women and girls do not lack the willpower to transform their communities, they lack the financial power to achieve sustainable change. WoWE is working to address this imbalance.

Each dollar donated to WoWE delivers 3 levels of impact

  • First, WoWE invests donated capital for market-rate, risk-adjusted returns and mission-aligned outcomes. Our investments across all asset classes are designed to deliver inclusive access and opportunity.
  • We take the income generated from our investing and reinvest it as grants to entities that accelerate mission-aligned systems change.
  • We further scale our impact by sharing our investing expertise, insights, and tools with leading investors, philanthropists and companies.

Let’s make history together by building the world’s largest endowment focused on women changemakers. WoWE is a 501c3 and all donations are tax-deductible.
