We stand for social change for women and girls. We are all bound to this purpose – and to each other – by these simple but powerful beliefs.

Our mission is to transform the lives of women and girls, by mobilizing the collective power and passion of all women working together. 

We began this work in 2001, committed to the following values:

We believe that positive social change will come about only when barriers of class, ethnicity, race, educational background, sexual orientation, economic status, and faith traditions are overcome.

Participation at the broadest level is the beacon of our work.

Enduring progress will be made by focusing on assets unique to the lives of women and girls.

We strive to create a climate of empowerment in a community where many voices can contribute to the shaping of will and attitudes.

In our society, gender powerfully affects experience and opportunity.

Through collaborations, The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio will honor traditional attributes of women and girls and at the same time, pave new paths.

All voices will be heard, including those outside the mainstream, and those silent voices within the mainstream.
