ABOUT US | Our Values

Justice - We work to create an equitable world which honors the value, worth, and dignity of all people.

Social Change - We support efforts that have a significant impact on societal attitudes and behaviors, or result in needed systemic change to advance economic, political and gender equality.

Inclusion - We strive for the full participation of women and girls of all backgrounds, including diversity of race, ethnicity, culture, place, age, class, religion, ability, and sexual orientation. Our commitment to inclusion is evident in our partnerships with diverse organizations throughout Minnesota, in the composition of our staff and board, in our grantmaking decisions, and in the policies we promote.

Feminism - We believe in the economic, political and social equality of the sexes. We support programs. policies and practices that allow women and girls to self-determine and achieve their full potential. We further believe that when men and boys fully support women's equality, families and communities thrive.

Hope - We embrace change and future equality. We believe all people and systems can learn and grow. This optimism is reflected in our programs, partnerships and policies.
