12 May 2011 Welcome to our Celebrating Women® Breakfast! Your presence here today makes it possible for all of us to make a better future for women and families. This morning you will hear some of the extraordinary changes that are taking place in our City, even as we continue to struggle through a slow economic recovery. The work and voice of our grantee partners reflects their steadfast ingenuity and dedication to uplifting the lives of women and families in our communities. More than ever, we face a critical time in our economic recovery process. Job creation and employment has been much slower than in similar periods of recovery. Additional reductions in spending at the federal, state and city government levels will result in significant hardship for New Yorkers, particularly working women and women of color who represent a large part of the workforce and will be disproportionately impacted by layoffs. The choices we make now can both accelerate growth and rebalance our economy while avoiding increased disparities and economic suffering for us all. 2

To this end, the Foundation is taking another bold step by increasing its investment to an unprecedented level. In 2011, we will distribute $4,000,000 in grants to sustain and expand opportunities for women who are most impacted by the economic crisis. Over sixty-five percent of our grantmaking is directed to projects and initiatives that help women achieve a living wage by promoting entrepreneurship, providing job training and placement services in emerging industries, and facilitating access to benefits and work supports. As you can see, our work is far from over. But we know from the successes of our current investments that we are on the right track. Join us today and throughout the year. Together, we can accelerate our impact and demonstrate the power of investing in women and its capacity to strengthen our communities, creating a more equitable and just City for all. Yours truly,

Carolyn Buck Luce

At The New York Women’s Foundation, we work together to transform the conditions of poverty, helping to build a city where women, families and communities thrive through shared power and sustained economic justice and security. Our work is rooted in a tradition of educating and engaging women of all means about the power of our collective action as activist philanthropists. We know that we can have a greater impact when we work together, leveraging our financial and intellectual resources to empower individuals and families and affect long-term systemic change. It is this singular commitment of women helping women that sets The New York Women’s Foundation apart from more traditional philanthropic organizations. At the Foundation, you will find women from all walks of life. Our board of directors, staff, and committee volunteers are a diverse and remarkable team working toward common goals. The Foundation’s leadership includes women of different ages, economic backgrounds, and ethnic origins who bring with them a wealth of perspectives and skills. Our supporters are generous with their time, resources, and ideas, actively working to improve the lives of women and girls.

STAND FOR WOMEN AND FAMILIES in New York City

We are ACTIVIST philanthropists. When we act together to raise money in order to fund women leaders and women-led organizations, we are creating positive change in the lives of women, girls and communities as activist philanthropists.

4

We are effective PHILANTHROPISTS. At the Foundation, we work “close to the ground.” Not only are we well-versed in our understanding and approach to the complexity and the inter-connectedness of issues that impact women’s lives, we also work closely with our grantee partners, incorporating their wisdom and their “front-line” expertise into our grantmaking strategies. We LEVERAGE our resources. Everyone can become involved in the Foundation’s work as an activist philanthropist. As a public philanthropy, our grantmaking relies on contributions. Our diverse philanthropic partners help us raise money and spread the word for others to join us. A donor to the Foundation may be an individual whose gift of $10 represents the full capacity of his or her charitable contribution. Or it may be one of New York’s leading business or legal institutions whose donation demonstrates to its clients and the community that the business

supports women’s economic independence. A donation may come from someone of substantial resources who underwrites a grant or initiative, makes a planned gift, or contributes to our endowment; or it may be the collective gift of a network or other affinity group. The common theme among all of these contributions is the choice to make a difference in one’s own community, and the ability of the Foundation to leverage these collective resources. Our strategic philanthropy ensures that grants go to women helping women build independent lives with living wages, and create safe, healthy communities.

We FUND for systemic change. By the end of 2011, the Foundation will award $4 million to more than 70 partner organizations in New York City. Our grants focus on economic security across women’s life span, being attentive to the needs of girls and the intergenerational issues that affect economic security. We are often the first funder to offer significant support to community-based nonprofits serving women and girls. Over the past 24 years, we have developed mastery in identifying and supporting innovative and effective organizations and programs working for broad, positive change for women and families.

We engage in PARTICIPATORY GRANTMAKING. Our participatory grantmaking process engages a diverse range of women’s voices and perspectives. Our staff, along with Grants Advisory Committee volunteers, visit over 80 organizations throughout the City. Partnering with volunteer teams, “the eyes and ears” in the community, our knowledgeable staff exercises their expertise in community needs, nonprofit management, and gender analysis to make strategic funding recommendations.

We CELEBRATE women as leaders. Involvement with The New York Women’s Foundation can be a life-changing experience. We encourage women to join in helping our communities grow strong, and we honor many for their courage, commitment, and passion. Our annual Breakfast is an event unlike any other in New York City, drawing together thousands of guests to applaud the achievements of remarkable leaders in philanthropy, community-based work, and women’s rights.

The Foundation has thrived on this vision of combining hands-on philanthropy with community-driven projects. By asking our supporters to engage in our grantmaking process, we build partnerships among women who have the resources to give, women who can teach us more about our neighborhoods, and women who are overcoming the challenges of poverty.

The Foundation also gives several awards to celebrate, honor, and appreciate the work of women.

• Our Celebrating Women

®

Award is given each year to a woman whose significant achievements have influenced the lives of – and provided a role model for — women and girls.

• Our Vision Award acknowledges and praises We PROMOTE sustainability. As The New York Women’s Foundation’s grantee partners encourage their constituents to become self-reliant, we partner with organizations to become increasingly sustainable and effective. In addition to general operating and program-specific grants, we support grantee partners’ leadership and organizational development through capacity building grants and assistance that enable them to build their infrastructure and learn strategies for growth.

• Our Neighborhood Leadership Awards, given at our annual fall Neighborhood Dinner, recognize women who have committed their lives to neighborhood-based work on behalf of women and families.

• The Century Award is a unique award presented to a woman whose social activism and work on behalf of women has spanned many decades.

• The Stepping Up Award, given at our Fall Dinner We AMPLIFY women’s voices and concerns. The New York Women’s Foundation supports a wide range of activities that promote and protect the rights of women and girls. In addition to funding programs that seek to create systemic change for all New Yorkers who experience economic hardship, the Foundation also mobilizes its networks to act in support of policies that enable women, families and communities to live secure, safe, and healthy lives. We convene public forums and issue briefings to raise awareness and address issues of concern.

is presented to New Yorkers who serve as role models and who demonstrate courageous leadership, vision and commitment to women and families as individuals and as partners.

We INVEST responsibly. The Foundation’s endowment is invested in companies that “do well by doing good” – they have women in leadership positions and have strong policies for women employees.

ACTIVIST PHILANTHROPY IN ACTION Activist Philanthropy is a guiding force at The New York Women’s Foundation . ®

We are a cross-cultural alliance of individuals making a difference in the world through philanthropy; and to this end, we bring together people with diverse talents, perspectives, financial and experiential resources in order to broaden the movement for social change. We invite you to join us in transforming the conditions of poverty and creating an equitable and just future for low-income women and girls. Here are some of the ways the Foundation engages in activist philanthropy:

6

The Committee for the Future (CFF) This volunteer committee creates an opportunity for younger philanthropists to join the work of the Foundation. The CFF supports the Foundation’s commitment to lowincome women and girls in New York City by educating new Foundation supporters about women’s issues and by engaging others in activist philanthropy. Committee members plan and participate in events, help produce other special projects and garner Foundation support through the Celebrating Women® Breakfast and other initiatives. Grants Advisory Committee (GAC) This volunteer committee embodies participatory grantmaking at the Foundation. Committee members help identify grantee partners among the city’s most innovative and worthy nonprofit organizations that promote the sustained economic security of women and girls. Committee members learn more about the challenges women and girls face and the organizations working with them, and participate in trainings and issue briefings to provide the tools they will need to review proposals and conduct site visits with the Foundation staff.

The Circle of Sisters for Social Change (COS) This committee brings together socially conscious women to learn about the Foundation, harness financial resources, and create professional networks to build a collective voice for social change philanthropy in New York City. The President’s Council The President’s Council is a group of individuals who contribute generously to the future of The New York Women’s Foundation®. By working closely with the President & CEO, these leaders volunteer to support the Foundation in ways that are very personal and meaningful to them. Through special events and programs, President’s Council members build strong and lasting resources for the Foundation and women and girls in New York City. The Corporate Support Subcommittee The Corporate Support Subcommittee (CSS) is comprised of senior corporate women from diverse industries who undertake a yearlong effort to increase corporate partnerships and support of the Foundation. CSS members meet approximately four times a year to discuss fundraising strategies and then go back to their networks to execute them. It is an incredible leadership and networking opportunity that allows corporate women to participate in activist philanthropy and demonstrate their commitment to New York City.

JOIN THE COMMUNITY OF ACTIVIST PHILANTHROPISTS Because the Foundation collectively leverages donations, gifts at every level have an impact on our ability to help women and girls rise out of poverty. So, activate your giving today and tell your friends, family, colleagues and networks to do the same – there is strength in numbers! ACTIVATE YOUR GIVING TODAY . Become a Monthly Sustainer! Committing to The New York Women’s Foundation’s Monthly Sustainer program allows you to budget your annual giving. Contributions to this program are made automatically via credit card or payroll deduction the same day every month. As a Monthly Sustainer, you will receive special updates about what your support makes possible and a year-end summary statement for your tax records. Name a Foundation Grant! Think of your colleagues or alumnae association and the wealth of intelligence, skills, and resources you represent. Several women’s groups – including professional associations, alumnae organizations, and women colleagues in law firms and other offices – have leveraged their collective donations to the Foundation. The Foundation is pleased to name a grant for the year it is funded in honor of the individuals and institutions that make it possible. Double Your Dollars! Ask your employer about matching gifts; many will make a donation to the Foundation when you do. This means that your donation could double or even triple. Simply enclose your company’s form along with your donation. Your company may also have a workplace giving program. The Foundation currently participates in the United Way and CUNY Workplace Giving Programs.

Honor another woman – your mother, sister, friend or heroine! Or sister, or daughter.…With $50 or more, you can make a donation as a gift in honor or memory of a special person in your life. The Foundation will send a special card to your honoree acknowledging your gift, and you will support the Foundation’s work as well. Consider recognizing a special person, group, or event with a tribute page in the annual Celebrating Women® Album. Your Legacy Helps Our Future: The Polly W. Guth Circle Women and men of all ages, means, and walks of life can create a legacy and commemorate your commitment to the Foundation. Gifts made through wills, retirement plans, trusts, and life insurance allow you to plan your giving for the future and provide support for future generations of women and girls. These planned gifts also may have the benefit of providing you with current and/or future income tax reductions as well as generating income for yourself or loved ones. Supporting our events! Our Celebrating Women® Breakfast, Fall Dinner, and Neighborhood Dinner all provide opportunities to make a gift while strengthening the Foundation, community and partnerships.

Planned Giving

The Polly W. Guth Circle

“Planned Giving” refers to any major gift that involves financial or estate planning. Such gifts can provide important benefits to you and to the Foundation. However, determining what type of gift that is right for you is just as important as making the gift. There are many options from which you can choose. The correct plan for you balances what you wish to accomplish for yourself and your family with your charitable interests.

Polly W. Guth is a founding member of The New York Women’s Foundation who created a legacy circle through her bold leadership and dedication. The Foundation is deeply grateful to Polly and all Circle members ensuring a future of possibility and justice for women and families in New York City.

Last October, we launched our NEW Planned Giving pages on our website. The Planned Giving pages will help guide donors in future financial planning. Supporters will be able to access all the tools needed to make a sound decision in philanthropic giving while securing their family’s financial future. Learn about giving strategies that allow you to make a meaningful charitable gift while benefiting you and your family’s financial future by visiting www.nywf.org/plannedgiving.html.

CELEBRATING WOMEN 2011 ®

Celebrating Women Breakfast ®

In 1987, a small group of visionary women from diverse backgrounds joined forces 14

to found The New York Women’s Foundation®. Their goal was to identify and fund community organizations in New York City run by and for women whose programs assisted low-income women and girls in need of critical services and economic independence. The next spring, The Foundation held its first Celebrating Women® Breakfast in a crowded church hall and distributed $50,000 to four community-based groups. Today, The New York Women’s Foundation’s annual Breakfast is the premiere fundraising event for women of conscience in New York City. Since its inception, The Foundation has distributed more than $24 million in grants to over 250 community-based organizations in New York City. By the end of 2011, our twenty-fourth year, The Foundation will have distributed a minimum of $28 million in grants furthering our mission to create an equitable and just future for women, families and communities in New York City.

THE VISION AWARD

Jennifer Buffett

Jennifer Buffett is Co-Chair and President of the NoVo Foundation (Latin: create, change), a philanthropic organization focused on creating a more just and balanced world based on cooperation and partnership, primarily through the empowerment of girls and women. She leads the foundation overseeing its strategic direction as defined by her and her husband, composer and producer, Peter Buffett. NoVo works to achieve its vision by transforming social attitudes, relationships and institutions that perpetuate injustice – primarily through the empowerment of girls and women. NoVo aims to unlock the potential of girls and women to be powerful agents of change and help children grow into caring adults skilled at working cooperatively. The foundation approaches this effort by investing in long-term strategic initiatives that lead to systemic change, specifically ending violence against girls and women, unlocking the potential of adolescent girls, and advancing whole child education and social and emotional learning. NoVo is a major philanthropic partner with the Nike Foundation, fueling “The Girl Effect”— the social and economic change brought about when every girl has the power to participate equally in her community. Jennifer and Peter are recipients of the Clinton Global Citizen Award for their “visionary leadership and sustainable, scalable work in solving pressing global challenges.” The Ms. Foundation for Women honored Peter and Jennifer’s philanthropic boldness and commitment with a 2010 “Gloria Steinem Award”. Barron’s ranks them in the top 25 list of most effective philanthropists. In 2010, Jennifer was selected by President Clinton to be a founding member of the Clinton Global Initiative’s young global leaders cohort, “CGI Lead”. In addition, Ms. Buffett provides leadership and serves on the boards of the Nike Foundation, V-Day, CASEL (Collaborative for Academic and Social and Emotional Learning), the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), Apne Aap Women Worldwide, BRAC USA, and “Women Moving Millions”. Jennifer’s work in philanthropy began in 1997 when Peter’s parents, Susan and Warren Buffett, bequeathed Jennifer and Peter a small charitable fund.

During her 8 years as a CNN correspondent, Hinojosa took viewers into communities that had never been shown on television. Three times over the past decade, Hinojosa has been named one of the 100 Most Influential Latinos in the United States by Hispanic Business magazine. She has received the Ruben Salazar Communications Award from the National Council of La Raza and was inducted into the “She Made It” Hall of Fame at the Paley Center/Museum of Television and Radio in a program that honors women trail blazers in the media.

INVESTING IN WOMEN AND FAMILIES The New York Women’s Foundation fosters individual transformation, community engagement, and systemic change on behalf of NYC’s women and families through grantmaking, partnerships with national and local funders, management and leadership initiatives, and public education and advocacy.

Grantmaking The New York Women’s Foundation® (NYWF®) funds organizations and programs within the five boroughs of New York City that move women and families living at or below the poverty level toward long-term economic security, health, and stability. While the Foundation supports direct service programs, we have a strong interest in community organizing and advocacy strategies that work to bring about meaningful and sustainable systemic change. We support programs that aim to change policies and systems, build community, foster collaborations, enhance leadership skills and knowledge, and encourage program participants to become more engaged members of their communities.

34

The Foundation supports organizations and programs that apply gender, racial, economic and social justice lenses to their work and express an understanding and willingness to work towards eradicating the root causes of poverty. Our grantee partners develop programs that explicitly use strategies to achieve equity and fairer policies for communities marginalized by gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, religion, and immigration or citizenship status. In 2010, The New York Women’s Foundation® awarded $3,170,085 in grants to 69 organizations that focused on moving women and girls towards sustained economic security. Grants were made in the following three focus areas: Anti-Violence and Safety

Economic Security

Health, Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice

In all three focus areas, the Foundation supports organizations and programs aimed at:

• Promoting and facilitating individual transformation for women and girls of all ages; • Changing policies and/or systems in order to promote and protect the rights of women and girls •

in long-term and sustainable ways; and Engaging and mobilizing women and girls to be active participants in their personal transformation and systemic change.

RESPOND, INSPIRE, SOLVE, ENGAGE: RISE-NYC RESULTS The Foundation continued RISE-NYC!, in 2010, by providing a second consecutive year of funding to 15 grantee partners to directly address the impact of the economic crisis on NYC’s women and families. RESPOND! Since 2009, NYWF and its partners, provided $1,446,250 in the following three RISE-NYC! areas of focus: Business Development, Education, Training and Employment, and Family Stability and Safety. INSPIRE! Central to the NYC-RISE! Initiative is NYWF’s partnership with a diverse group of stakeholders, including community based organizations, funders, policy advocates, and grantee partner organizations. 35

SOLVE! In 2009, with a one-year investment of $640,625, twelve RISE-NYC! grantee partners served 2,004 women and, experienced a number of successes:

• 236 (52%) of women who were seeking jobs found employment, 71 (30%) of which were full-time. • Through business development training and access to microloans, 39 women started a new business, •

15 sustained an existing business, and 17 expanded their business. 336 women received individual and family counseling, 284 women received domestic violence support, and there were 31 orders to show cause or affidavits for homeowners in foreclosure process, all of which increased the overall stability of households.

ENGAGE! Grantee partners leveraged the resources and skills of over 100 cross-sector partnerships and 961 volunteers to maximize the impact of their work. Volunteers provided an average of 37 hours each to grantee partner organizations, including legal services, mentoring clients, and workshop facilitation.

ANTI-VIOLENCE & SAFETY We support organizations and programs that work to create safe communities free from violence in New York City by addressing both the immediate needs of women and girls who suffer from abuse, and creating long-term systemic changes that can eradicate violence.

Mount Sinai Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention Program Program Against Commercial Sexual Exploitation

Citywide | $50,000 The Mt. Sinai Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention (SAVI) Program provides free and confidential counseling, advocacy, and support services to victims of rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence. The Program Against Commercial Sexual Exploitation supports young women sexually exploited for commercial purposes by addressing their immediate physical safety needs and pressing medical concerns. The program provides crisis intervention and case management services, intensive individual counseling and strength-based peer support groups. Program participants have paid internship opportunities at SAVI and other Mt. Sinai offices helping them gain the confidence and work experience needed to pursue healthy life choices, overcome the trauma of sexual exploitation and physical abuse, and ultimately achieve economic independence.

MARIA’S STORY Maria* was born in a small village in Mexico. She grew up with her parents and siblings, and she was living a poor but peaceful life. At age 15, Maria’s world was turned upside down; she became a “stolen bride,” a Mexican practice based on machismo which forces young women to live with the man that kidnaps them. However, Maria’s captor was not seeking a relationship; he was a man from the village of Tenacingo, Txacala in Mexico. The most flourishing business in that area is the traffic of women for sex labor. Maria was brought to the USA three months later and was exploited daily for 5 years. In September of 2010, Maria was able to escape her trafficker thanks to a good Samaritan and the fast intervention of SAVI. Maria did not think that she was in immediate danger because her trafficker had temporarily returned to Mexico, but pieces of her story greatly concerned the SAVI clinician. She explained that she had fake documents, little money and was unsure about her future. Maria was immediately referred to emergency shelter and to law enforcement. A couple of days later, Maria casually mentioned the location of the shelter to one of her friends. Later, the shelter reported that some people tried to find Maria there, but luckily they failed. For safety reasons, Maria was transferred to another shelter. Maria’s case is under investigation by ICE; the information she provided has allowed them to uncover an international trafficking ring. SAVI is providing Maria with intensive case management and trauma-specific mental health services. Maria has also been referred to a broad range of services; she currently receiving ongoing psychiatric care, attends ESOL classes, and is

working with an immigration lawyer on her T-Visa. Maria is working hard to overcome her trauma. She aspires to become fluent in English, resume her education and increase awareness about sex trafficking.

ECONOMIC SECURITY We support organizations and programs that enable women and girls to achieve and sustain economic security and advance economic justice through Education, Employment, Work Supports, Training and Asset Building.

Grace Outreach The Bronx | $50,000 Located in the South Bronx, Grace Outreach serves a diverse group of low-income women who have aged out of the New York City school system without a high school diploma and who seek to improve their academic skills, pursue post-secondary education and establish employment paths that lead to economic security.

Learning at Grace Outreach takes place in a safe, non-judgmental environment that fosters hope and builds confidence. Participants’ successes stem from a results-focused model that combines a rigorous education curriculum with a highly individualized support that addresses the needs of each student. By actively participating in their intensive academic program, a woman can rapidly earn her high school equivalency diploma (GED), and then capitalize on her success by pursuing further education or employment goals. Since their inception in December 2004, over 625 women have earned their GED at Grace Outreach.

DARRIEN ROBINSON 43 Bronx resident Darrien Robinson, 27, has utilized the full complement of Grace Outreach’s services. She learned about GO in an unusual way –“my mom came here in 2008 to get her GED,” Robinson explains, “so I had a good path to follow.” Darrien came to GO in September of 2009, took a placement test, and began studying intensely for the GED. She took the exam in October, and passed. At the same time, Darrien took the College Prep classes three afternoons per week. In this class, she was 1 of 14 women preparing intensively for the CUNY Skills Exam. A person passing this exam is exempt from remedial classes, and can begin taking credit-bearing classes her first semester at college. Darrien took the CUNY Skills Exam in mid-December, and received the exemption in all three subject areas. Before coming to GO, Derrian was working as a home health aide. She liked it ok, but always wanted to do more, felt like she could do more – just wanted more in general with her life. Derrien had looked around for educational opportunities in several places, but what she liked about GO was that she could do both the GED Prep and the College Prep under one roof and with the same teachers. Derrian moved to the Bronx at age 24, after living all of her life in Jamaica. She moved here at the urging of her mom, who thought there would be more opportunities in general for her in NYC. Darrien began at Lehman College in January, 2010, and now is a sophomore, carrying a 3.4 GPA. Her career goal is to be a nutritionist. “I see so many kids eating junk food, and I would like to work with kids to help them be healthy. So to do that, I need to learn everything about nutrition. And that’s why I’m enrolled at Lehman College.” In addition, Darrien is now a tutor at Grace Outreach, so she balances her college work with work as a staff member of the organization.

2010 Technical Assistance Funder’s Collaborative The New York City Technical Assistance Funder’s Collaborative strengthens the leadership and management capacity of our grantee partners through a series of participatory workshops and trainings on a variety of topics such as fundraising, board development, financial management, and communications. Workshops and trainings typically range in length from a half-day to a series of full-day sessions, and are facilitated by technical assistance providers who tailor the trainings to the needs of the participants. Individual follow-up consultations are often conducted at the end of each series. In addition to learning new skills and strategies for building organizational capacity, the trainings provide an excellent opportunity for grantees to share experiences, increase their knowledge base, build learning partnerships and form valuable relationships. Through these offerings, NYWF grantee partner organizations enhance their capacity, increase resources, strengthen governance practices, and ultimately improve service delivery and advocacy to low-income women and girls in New York City. In 2010, The New York Women’s Foundation offered the following workshops and trainings to our grantee partners through our participation in the Technical Assistance Funders Collaborative: Grassroots Fundraising: Beginner and Advanced Workshop Series Presented by Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) 70

Proposal Writing Clinic: Writing to Influence Presented by Community Resource Exchange Maximizing Board Leadership Presented by Community Resource Exchange Nonprofit Fiscal Management Presented by Fiscal Management Associates Effective Legislative Advocacy by Nonprofit Organizations Presented by The Lawyers Alliance for New York

Girls Leadership Initiative The New York Women’s Foundation is committed to supporting young women to take charge of their lives and to reach their highest potential as professionals and leaders in their families and communities. Through grantmaking and special youth focused programs, the Foundation continues to engage young women in conversations about their future and their roles in their communities. The Girls Leadership Initiative (GLI) builds the leadership of the young women of our grantee partner organizations, individually and as a community, through the exploration of education, career, activism, and philanthropy. GLI offers opportunities for young women of high school age to connect both with each other and to a diverse group of professional women to build skills, discuss shared experiences, and learn life lessons. In partnership with Girls Incorporated of New York City, the Foundation held its 9th annual Girls Leadership Day in October 2010. Girls Leadership Day is designed to provide girls and young women from New York City ages 13 – 24 with much needed insight on education and career opportunities. Over 130 girls and young women from eighteen NYWF grantee partner organizations participated in a full day of activities including career roundtable discussions, financial education and life goal-setting workshops and a networking lunch. The program day also provided career information, through personal accounts from professional women, and educational resources to help young women explore the next steps on the road to achieving their educational goals.

Public Education Forums CRITICAL INTERSECTIONS: REPRODUCTIVE AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE Building on our partnership with the Catalyst Fund at Groundswell Fund to invest in women of color-led reproductive justice work, the Foundation hosted a day-long conference in collaboration with the Barnard Center for Research on Women (BCRW) in September 2010 to discuss the ways that reproductive and economic justice intersect to affect the lives of women and girls in New York City. The convening highlighted the work of grantee partners working in this area and was attended by more than 200 service providers, funders, researchers and policymakers. To build on the knowledge produced at the conference, the Foundation also partnered with BCRW to produce a documentary film entitled “Justice at the Intersections: Action for Reproductive and Economic Justice in NYC”, as well as a report, “Reproductive Justice in Action”, both of which explored the ways in which organizations in NYC are working at the intersections of reproductive and economic justice.
