Mary's Pence is a philanthropic fundraising organization focused on empowering women and their communities through solidarity and justice. In the United States and Canada, it provides grants to women's organizations pursuing social change. In Central America and Mexico, it partners with women's groups to form community lending pools and offers ongoing mentorship to support women's empowerment and economic well-being.

Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, the organization operates with a relatively small staff and emphasizes long-term accompaniment rather than short-term funding. It seeks to respond to changing needs by building capacities, facilitating participation, and amplifying women's voices to challenge unjust systems. In March 2022, author and activist Aviva Chomsky joined Mary's Pence for a discussion of her work examining how histories are suppressed and their influence on current events.
