The Boston Women’s Fund is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based philanthropic grantmaking organization and the state’s first women’s foundation, among the oldest in the United States. It was launched about 40 years ago at a community meeting by activist women, and it funds community-based groups led by women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals pursuing racial, economic, social, and gender justice in Greater Boston and beyond. The fund emphasizes participatory and trust-based philanthropy, operating on the belief that those closest to a problem understand the best paths to solutions. Its funding focus supports initiatives run by women, girls, and gender-expansive people, providing resources to turn ideas into action. In its sector, it is positioned as a leader in empowering communities to shape their own solutions and drive systemic change. In April 2026, at the Working Mothers Summit hosted by The Boston Globe, Natanja Craig-Oquendo, the fund’s CEO, spoke about leadership, care, and systemic change.
