THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK HAS BEEN UNIQUELY STRATEGIC AND IMPACTFUL, ENGAGING AND CONVENING PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO CREATE A COLLECTIVE AND "POWERFUL" VOICE FOR WOMEN. IN 2020, WOMEN'S WAY IMPLEMENTED A THREE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUSED ON CONNECTING AND EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY AND CULTIVATING HIGH IMPACT PHILANTHROPY ACROSS THE REGION. OUR WORK IS GUIDED BY FOUR PILLARS OF FOCUS: 1) ADVANCING REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE AND SEXUAL HEALTH, 2) INCREASING SAFETY AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE, 3) PROMOTING ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND JUSTICE, AND 4) DEVELOPING THE LEADERSHIP OF GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN. WE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES THROUGH THREE KEY PROGRAMS: GRANTMAKING, RESEARCH, AND EDUCATION. false false 401155 2950 PUBLIC EDUCATION:THE WOMEN'S ECONOMIC SECURITY INITIATIVE (WESI):WESI IS A SYSTEMS-LEVEL COLLABORATIVE INITIATIvE CENTERED AROUND THE SHARED VISIONS THAT ALL WOMEN IN THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA REGION ATTAIN FINANCIAL WELL-BEING FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. WESI BRINGS TOGETHER GOVERNMENT, NONPOFITS, PHILANTHROPY, BUSINESS AND WOMEN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCES OF ECONOMIC INSECURITY AROUND A COMMON AGENDA AND ALIGNED ACTIVITIES, USING THE COLLECTIVE IMPACT FRAMEWORK. THE WESI NETWORK IDENTIFIES CRITICIAL SYSTEMIC GAPS, ENHANCES THE COORDINATION AND CAPACITY OF ORGANIZATIONS DOING PROMISING WORK, AND BUILDS A COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO DATA DRIVEN LEANING. AS THE BACKBONE OF THIS EFFORT, WOMEN'S WAY GUIDES VISION AND STRATEGY, SUPPORTS ALIGNED ACTIVITIES, BUILDS PUBLIC WILL AND MOBILIZES FUNDING.GENDER WEALTH INSTITUTE (GWI):IN SEPTEMBER 2021, WE TRANSITIONED WESI TO THE GENDER WEALTH INSTITUTE (GWI) WHOSE MISSION IS TO CLOSE THE GENDER WEALTH GAP IN THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA REGION BY ADVANCING RESEARCH AND PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS THAT BUILD WEALTH FOR WOMEN WHO ARE ECONOMICALLY INSECURE. IN JANUARY 2021, GWI LAUNCHED THE FINANCIAL COACH TRAINING PROGRAM (FCTP) TO ASSIST CASE MANAGERS AND OTHER CLIENT-SERVING INDIVIDUALS IN LEARNING HOW TO UTILIZE AND INTEGRATE FINANCIAL COACHING IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE CLIENTS' FINANCIAL HEALTH. BETWEEN JANUARY AND NOVEMBER 2021, 25 ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN THE FCTP AND 50 SERVICE PROVIDERS AND 25 SUPERVISORS HAVE BEEN TRAINED. IN ADDITION, GWI LAUNCHED THE NARRATIVE CHANGE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM THAT EMPOWERED 10 WOMEN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCES OF ECONOMIC HARDSHIP TO SHARE THEIR PERSONAL STORIES THROUGH PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL AUDIO, VISUAL AND PRINT PRODUCTION TO BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE LEADERS AND CHANGE AGENTS.AS AN EDUCATOR/MOBILIZER, GWI DESIGNED AND CONDUCTED THE CLOSING THE GENDER WEALTH GAP EDUCATIONAL SERIES. SIX FORUMS WERE CONDUCTED AND ADDRESSED KEY DRIVERS OF THE GENDER WEALTH GAP INCLUDING STRENGTHENING THE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION SECTOR, INVESTING IN WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES, ADDRESSING HEALTH AND HOUSING INEQUITIES, STRENGTHENING THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF WOMEN AND PROMOTING EQUITY IN GRANTMAKING. MORE THAN 2,000 INDIVIDUALS ATTENDED AND VIEWED THE FORUMS,AND SEVERAL HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS WERE MOBILZED TO ACT IN PURSUIT OF ADVANCING GENDER AND RACIAL EQUITY. 388411 195000 GRANTMAKING THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS:IMMEDIATE RESPONSE ACTION FUND (IRAF): IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, WE AWARDED SIX IRAF GRANTS TO ADDRESS URGENT NEEDS IN THE AREAS OF ECONOMIC SECURITY, HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND SAFETY/GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. COLLECTIVELY THE GRANTS IMPACTED MORE THAN 12,000 WOMEN AND GIRLS. RAPID RESPONSE GENERAL OPERATING FUND (RRGOF):WOMEN'S WAY CREATED THE RAPID RESPONSE GNERAL OPERAING FUND TO PROVIDE TWO-YEAR GRANTS OF UP TO $20,000 PER YEAR TO ORGANIZATIONS SERVING COMMUNITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC SUCH AS LOW-INCOME/LOW WAGE WORKERS, FORMERLY INCARCERATED, IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES AND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE. THE FIRST YEAR OF FUNDING (F/Y 2020)WAS TO ADDRESS THE ORGANIZATION'S IMMEDIATE NEEDS IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 CRISIS, THE SECOND YEAR OF FUNDING (F/Y 2021) IS TO RECOVER TO ECONOMIC STABILITY. WE AWARDED RRGOF GRANTS TO 12 ORGANIZATIONS FOR A TOTAL OF $135,000. 76487 RESEARCH:DURING FISCAL YEAR 2021, WE CONTINUED TO RESEARCH THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY SYSTEM WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON GATHERING MORE DATA ON THE KEY DRIVERS OF THE GENDER WEALTH GAP. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ZS GLOBAL, WE CREATED A REPOSITORY OF DATA POINTS THAT ADDRESS THE DRIVERS OF THE GENDER WEALTH GAP.
