Who We Are
A passionate Board, an experienced Leadership Council, hard-working staff, dedicated volunteers, and visionary donors working together for a better world.
The Foundation for Women (FFW) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of women in poverty. We administer microfinance loans to help women start businesses, educate themselves and their children, and create a new life for themselves and their families. We also support community-based educational initiatives. The Foundation has created and implemented microfinance programs in India, Zambia, Niger and San Diego. We are a registered and established NGO (non-governmental organization) in San Diego and Liberia. We are proud of the fact that since 1997 we have positively impacted more than a million women and their families by directly funding microfinance programs and education.
