GWI priority areas of intervention are: . Strengthen the financial health of women and girls through Financial Coaching .Change mental models through changing narratives through our Narrative Change Fellowship Program .Educate stakeholders on the drivers of the gender wealth gap through our Closing the Gender Wealth Gap Virtual Education Series .Pioneer policy solutions to address gender wealth inequity through our Gender Wealth Index research project FINANCIAL COACHING In 2021, we launched the Financial Coach Training Program (FCTP). Since its launch, 37 organizations have engaged in the FCTP, and 64 service providers and 37 supervisors have been trained. Collectively they provided financial coaching to more than 3000 individuals our region. 84% of individuals who received coaching experienced an improvement in their financial capacity. In 2024, we transitioned the FCTP to the Financial Wellness Program (FWP) whose purpose is the financial health of employees of nonprofits and members of grassroots organizations as measured via a wellness survey. FWP conducted two cohorts with a total of 47 participants from 15 organizations. In Cohort One, 95% of participants reported increased awareness of their financial habits and 94.8% felt better prepared to pursue their financial goals. Final metrics from Cohort One showed a decrease in stress and an improvement in financial capability. In November 2024, FWP also hosted a one-day training with 86 staff members from the Federation Early Learning Services (FELS), with 90.1% of attendees feeling motivated to set and take on financial goals as a result of the workshop. NARRATIVE CHANGE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM Since its launch in 2021, 34 individuals successfully completed the Fellowship Program resulting in 27 videos of their stories and a 7-series podcast of the carceral system and its impact on the gender wealth gap. In addition, 100% of the fellows improved their confidence and skills in using their stories to affect change in their communities. CLOSING THE GENDER WEALTH GAP EDUCATION SERIES In 2024, we hosted six virtual forums exploring the steps needed to build a more inclusive economy and the alternative models and initiatives that can serve as its foundation. Topics included guaranteed income, building worker power, and featured guest speaker Marjorie Kelly, author of Wealth Supremacy. A total of 695 individuals attended and/or viewed the recordings of the sessions and several hundred individuals were mobilized to act in pursuit of advancing gender and racial equity. Of those who completed the post-session survey, 87% of respondents rated each session "very good or better." YOUNG WOMEN'S INITIATIVE (YWI) Now in its 27th year the WOMEN'S WAY Young Women's Initiative (YWI) is a dynamic group of people between the ages of 21 and 45 who identify as women or gender expansive/gender non-conforming/non-binary. This volunteer led young friends' group is open to individuals who are focused on social justice. YWI works to develop its members as community and business leaders, advocates for social change, and civically engaged philanthropists raising critical funds for WOMEN'S WAY. It also serves as a way to connect with progressive peers and make a difference in the community. 249355 177347 GRANTMAKING PROGRAMS IMMEDIATE RESPONSE ACTION FUND (IRAF) IRAF addresses urgent and unanticipated needs of organizations or programs that primarily serve women, girls, and the gender expansive community. From receiving a completed application to communicating a decision-the IRAF grant review process is completed in 10 business days. In FY 24, 6 grants totaling over $57,000 were given out, impacting over 72,000 individuals. GENERAL OPERATING FUND We completed the second round of funding for our 2023 General Operating Fund grantees--all of which are organizations with budgets under $500,000, with 11 having budgets under $200,000. We disbursed 12 grants totaling $120,000, impacting 59,000 individuals. 94348 RESEARCH During fiscal year 2024, WOMEN'S WAY reviewed additional research and worked with our community stakeholders to further refine success metrics related to the five dimensions of the Gender Wealth Framework: Health and Healing, Stability and Opportunity; Freedome, Joy and Belonging; Family and Community Care; Resources and Community Support. These metrics serve as guideposts to give practioners and funders qualitative reference when evaluating whether gender economic equity has been achieved in a particular dimension. Summaries and findings from the work are found in our 2024 Gender Wealth Framework report. With respect to grantmaking, we evaluate the final reports of the IRAF grantees to determine breadth and depth of impact. We also continually conduct prospective donor research to expand our list of individual, corporate and foundation funders. Our research efforts resulted in expanding our donor list by 30%. 1057353 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 23 0 true 8 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 22 21 false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true false false false NJ PA X Mary Scout 2159853322 1617 JFK Blvd Ste 2043 Phila PA 19103 Diane Cornman-Levy Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 150292 0 22690 Jessica Muslin COO 40.00 0.00 97564 0 11046 Radiance Bucknor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tamara Cobb Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jenifer Groves Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jocelyn Hastings Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Monique Howard Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nan Hutchinson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle King Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Landau Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura LaRosa Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anita Lewis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Manfredonia Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Orfelina Payne Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Meghan Pierce Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maithili Pradhan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roopa Seshadri Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Britainy Stephens Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Wilson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Belmont Vice President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Myra Brown Chairman 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine Quinn Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ashlie Thornbury Secretary 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 247856 33736 1 false true false 0 80617 324743 593661 999021 0 82465 82465 0 0 0 1262583 1155828 106755 106755 106755 39393 324743 71915 -32522 0 0 0 1155719 82465 106755 180698 180698 0 0 0 152500 135066 10391 7043 0 385081 341059 26239 17783 12365 11057 1036 272 58026 50781 3599 3646 41539 36770 2874 1895 0 0 18570 18570 0 0 25320 25320 23885 21555 1165 1165 0 36938 32076 3047 1815 21225 17863 2191 1171 0 68239 57770 6612 3857 1987 1591 396 0 78640 78087 553 0 0 2098 1855 122 121 8210 6916 827 467 Communications & outreach 81447 80843 416 188 Write-off uncollect a/r 8486 8486 Special event expenses 6841 6841 Membership & publications 3982 3366 413 203 4295 1110 3185 1220372 1057353 104881 58138 0 503446 385408 80567 99313 0 0 0 0 0 9619 22770 10086 6985 4052 3101 2682331 3047992 0 0 0 73695 12243 3353710 3570827 8659 12616 1430 315 52199 62288 12931 X 3127342 3443816 164080 114080 3291422 3557896 3353710 3570827 -64653 331127 X false true X true false X 913529 962991 1189021 977237 999021 5041799 0 0 913529 962991 1189021 977237 999021 5041799 1089290 3952509 56438 88361 131227 88803 82465 447294 0 0 5489093 0.72010 0.75390 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 1220373 1220373 197037 49259 false 174363 199528 215954 197037 786882 1180323 43591 49882 53989 49259 196721 295082 2727252 519539 145148 25320 3076323 2590907 298611 138990 23276 2727252 3140275 -412184 110744 26439 2590908 2530945 734517 102749 22498 3140215 2412784 234297 110744 18754 2517583 1.00000 true false false 10086 6985 3101 3101 X 1521848 331127 60322 391449 1130399 25320 25320 1155719 1255374 60322 60322 1195052 25320 25320 1220372 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
