About The Women's Fund of Essex County

We believe: 

Women and girls have the right to lead secure, strong, and fulfilling lives

The power of women’s philanthropy leads to creating positive social change

Strong women and girls foster strong families and communities

Social change is best sustained when it begins at the community level 

Our Mission & Vision

The mission of The Women’s Fund of Essex County is to promote philanthropy as we raise and distribute funds to organizations that provide opportunities and solutions for women and girls in need throughout Essex County.

We envision a future where the women and girls in our neighborhoods and surrounding communities are no longer challenged by the issues of health and safety, financial insecurity, or societal barriers that today may impede their ability to lead secure, strong, and fulfilling lives.
