Our Mission
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to drive positive transformation in the lives, families, and communities of women by empowering them through economic opportunities and promoting gender equity.
We believe women’s economic empowerment is not just a women’s issue—it is a community and economic imperative. When women have access to opportunity, stability, and choice, the benefits ripple outward, strengthening families, local economies, and future generations.
Why This Matters
Women continue to face systemic barriers that limit economic mobility, from unequal access to capital and education to social and structural challenges that make stability harder to achieve. These barriers can limit the potential of entire communities.
Lift Women’s Foundation exists to address these challenges through intentional, connected strategies that expand opportunity, remove barriers, and invest in women as economic drivers.
How We Create Change
We advance women’s economic empowerment by focusing on three interconnected areas that research and lived experience show are critical to long-term financial mobility.

Supporting Entrepreneurship
For many women, entrepreneurship offers a path to economic independence, flexibility, and long-term financial security. We support women who dream of building and growing their own businesses by providing access to capital, guidance, and resources that help turn ideas into sustainable income.
By investing in women entrepreneurs, we strengthen not only individual businesses, but the local economies and communities they serve.
Addressing Social Determinants of Economic Stability
Economic opportunity cannot exist in isolation. Factors such as access to quality childcare, safety from violence, caregiving responsibilities, and basic stability directly impact a woman’s ability to participate fully in the economy.
Through initiatives like Kindness Collective, we support an ecosystem of nonprofits working to address the social determinants that disproportionately affect women. Individual acts of kindness come together to generate funding and awareness for organizations tackling issues such as childcare access, domestic violence, caregiving support, and other barriers to economic stability.
“Women’s economic mobility is one of the most powerful levers we have to strengthen families, fuel local economies, and drive lasting community impact.”
– Amy Jones, President, Lift Women’s Foundation
