IMMEDIATE RESPONSE ACTION FUND (IRAF) IRAF addresses urgent and unanticipated needs of organizations or programs that primarily serve women, girls, and the gender expansive community. From receiving a completed application to communicating a decision -the IRAF grant review process is completed in 10 business days. In FY25, 15 grant totaling over $149,270 were given out, impacting over 32,500 individuals. RAPID RESPONSE GENERAL OPERATING FUND The Rapid Response General Operating Fund was created to fund organizations serving communities disproportionately impacted by the current socio-political climate: immigrant and refugees, LGBTQIA+, people seeking reproductive healthcare and/or organizations anticipating a significant decrease in funding. From receiving a completed application, to communicating a decision, the grant review process was completed in 10 business days. In FY25, 16 grants totaling $160,000 were given out, impacting over 90,875 individuals. GENDER ECONOMIC EQUITY FUND The first cohort of the Gender Economic Equity Fund was launched in FY25 and consists of 4 organizations focused on the care sector. Over the three-year grant period, each organization will receive $235,000: $50,000 / year in general operating support, $25,000 / year in wellness funds to support staff, and a one-year accelerator grants of $10,000. In FY25 the 4 organizations each received the first installment of $75,000 for a total of $300,000 disbursed. TRANS RESILIENCE FUND In partnership with the Gender Justice Fund, WOMEN'S WAY invested $25,000 in their Trans Resilience Fund, a pooled fund to invest in organizations addressing the needs of trans populations. The Fund utilizes a participatory grantmaking process in which a committee of trans and non-binary community members set guidelines and makes funding decisions. 647952 5722 PUBLIC EDUCATION: GENDER EQUITY DESIGNER PROGRAM In 2025, we launched the Gender Equity Designer Program (GEEP) whose purpose is to advance the efforts, knowledge, and impact of organizations, coalitions, and grassroots groups from the care sector who are working to strengthen alternative care models that are equitable, inclusive, and contribute to long-term social transformation. GEEP includes three components: multi-year general operating support, a wellness fund, and the Gender Equity Designer Program which is a 6-month learning collaborative that empowers practitioners to design and evaluate effective equity strategies that center individuals and communities historically impacted by gender and racial inequities by adopting an equity mindset. Participants learn best practices, powerful techniques, key performance indicators and meaningful milestones for designing equitable organizations, communities, and systems. The first cohort includes four nonprofit organizations in the care sector. CLOSING THE GENDER WEALTH GAP EDUCATION SERIES In 2025, we hosted four virtual forums exploring the steps needed to build a more inclusive economy and the alternative models and initiatives that can serve as its foundation. Topics addressed the different dimensions of the Gender Wealth Framework, a process and toolkit that different stakeholders can use to design and evaluate strategies to incorporate gender equity into their organizations. A total of 565 individuals attended and/or viewed the recordings of the sessions, and more than 300 individuals were mobilized to act in pursuit of advancing gender and racial equity. Of those who completed the post-session survey, 89% of respondents rated each session "very good or better." ANNUAL GENDER WEALTH SUMMIT Each year, WOMEN'S WAY conducts the Annual Gender Wealth Summit that brings together funders, advocates, and community members for a half-day experience focused on reimagining our economy and expanding collective well-being. Through a mix of panels, mini-lectures, and interactive breakout groups, we deepen our understanding of the gender wealth gap, explore innovative economic models, and build momentum towards lasting systems change. In 2025, WOMEN'S WAY conducted the 4th Annual Gender Wealth Summit during which 100 stakeholders came together to discuss strategies to strengthen and reimagine the social safety net. A report was created that included lessons learned from the Summit and action steps cross-sector stakeholders can take to strengthen the social safety net. In addition, 35 individuals signed up to join the WOMEN'S WAY Advocacy Community which launched in January 2026. ADVOCACY In 2025, we designed and launched the Speakers' Bureau to empower women with lived experiences of economic insecurity to use narrative change skills for advocacy. Over seven months, ten participants explored writing, art, public speaking, organizing, and social media through expert-led workshops. Each participant received a small budget to advance their advocacy work, resulting in collaborations with local colleges and engagement with policymakers in Harrisburg. Their advocacy work plays a vital role in shaping a new cultural narrative - one grounded in the wisdom and lived experiences of all marginalized genders that takes root in communities, organization, and the halls of power. YOUNG WOMEN'S INITIATIVE (YWI) Now in its 28th year the WOMEN'S WAY Young Women's Initiative (YWI) is a dynamic group of people between the ages of 21 and 45 who identify as women or gender expansive / gender non-conforming / non-binary. This volunteer-led young friends' group is composed of individuals who are focused on social justice and dedicated to advancing gender equity. YWI works to develop its members as community and business leaders, advocates for social change, and civically engaged philanthropists raising critical funds for WOMEN'S WAY. It also serves as a way to connect with progressive peers and make a difference in the community. 161665 RESEARCH In 2025, we finalized the Gender Wealth Framework (GWF), a guide that offers a holistic, community-centered approach to understanding and advancing wealth by: - Challenging the deeply embedded narratives that perpetuate harmful and inadequate responses to wealth inequity. - Recognizing collectivism, interdependence, and self-determination as central to our understanding of wealth. - Encouraging systemic reflection, helping users assess how policies, programs, and institutions align (or misalign) with equity goals. - Prioritizing participant-defined success over rigid, top-down metrics. Practitioners can use the Framework to design and evaluate programs that advance gender equity. Funders can use the Framework to inform strategic investments and shift how they define and measure success. Policymakers can use the Framework to design equitable policies that move beyond short-term fixes and toward systemic solutions to close the gender wealth gap. A GWF playbook has been created to help different stakeholders operationalize the Framework to advance gender equity into their organizations. The playbook is being tested with the four GEEP grantees who are currently designing strategies to imbed gender equity into their organizational practices, policies, and culture. With respect to grantmaking, we evaluate the final reports of grantees to determine the breadth and depth of impact. We also continually conduct prospective donor research to expand our list of individual, corporate, and foundation funders. Our research efforts resulted in expanding our donor list by 25%. 1532008 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 25 0 true 7 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true true false false NJ PA X Mary Scout 2159853322 1617 JFK Blvd Ste 2043 Phila PA 19103 Diane Cornman-Levy Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 151825 0 23323 Jessica Muslin COO 40.00 0.00 X 103642 0 11510 Kelly Sheard Foundation Mgr. 40.00 0.00 X 88794 0 15622 Radiance Bucknor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tamara Cobb Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jenifer Groves Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jocelyn Hastings Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle King Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura LaRosa Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Manfredonia Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Orfelina Payne Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Meghan Pierce Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roopa Seshadri Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Britainy Stephens Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ashlie Thornbury Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Wilson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Charles Coe Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Leah Herman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ada Okafor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lesle John Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gina Palmisano Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Courtney Yeakel Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Belmont Vice President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Myra Brown Chairman 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maithili Pradhan Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine Quinn Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Muslin COO 40.00 0.00 0 0 0 344261 50455 2 false true false 0 62168 154328 2235586 2452082 0 118805 118805 0 0 0 2072372 1679102 393270 393270 393270 30300 154328 73667 -43367 0 0 0 2920790 393270 118805 652242 652242 0 0 0 157075 139885 12124 5066 0 476627 424466 36789 15372 14417 12932 952 533 70576 63307 4658 2611 48770 43357 3853 1560 0 0 17505 17505 0 0 27874 27874 6595 3826 2171 598 0 22149 19185 1125 1839 30012 26564 2704 744 0 40668 35995 3664 1009 2314 2125 118 71 0 22479 21466 1013 0 0 1090 965 98 27 8695 7696 783 216 Communications & outreach 76113 75917 196 Special event expenses 7481 7481 Write-off uncollect a/r 3188 3188 Membership & publications 2350 2080 212 58 1220 1220 1689440 1532008 115643 41789 0 385408 552825 99313 0 847247 0 0 0 0 22770 14838 11087 7930 3101 3157 3047992 3203534 0 0 0 12243 12180 3570827 4633781 12616 7807 315 2720 12931 10527 X 3443816 3718614 114080 904640 3557896 4623254 3570827 4633781 1231350 -165992 X false true X true false X 962991 1189021 977237 999021 2452082 6580352 0 0 962991 1189021 977237 999021 2452082 6580352 1520746 5059606 88361 131227 88803 82465 118805 509661 0 0 7090013 0.71360 0.72010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 1689440 1689440 234472 58618 false 199528 215954 197037 254472 866991 1300487 49882 53989 49259 58618 211748 317622 3076323 323067 149178 27874 3222338 2727252 519539 145148 25320 3076323 2590907 298611 138990 23276 2727252 3140275 -412184 110744 26439 2590908 2530945 734517 102749 22498 3140215 true false false 11087 7930 3157 3157 X 2767383 -165992 40459 -125533 2892916 27874 27874 2920790 1702025 40459 40459 1661566 27874 27874 1689440 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
