I can definitely say that this organization has changed my life for the better! I cannot imagine where I would be right now if I had never had such great support!
Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services P.O.W.E.R. program participant
After I had my daughter my whole life changed. I isolated myself and started losing my self-confidence and motivation for my own life. I tried going back to school on my own, but got discouraged with finances and child care. I didn’t think I would be able to do it alone. Thanks to the Women’s Fund, now I have resources and feel I will be more prepared when entering college.

She Can. And She Does.
We raise issues and our voices. But we don’t just talk the talk, we boldly walk the walk and lock elbows with the women and girls in our community to define new rules to include what’s best for all of us.
As the Women’s Fund for the Fox Valley Region, we take on the systemic barriers that limit the opportunities for women. We support change that allows women and girls the agency to create their own future, free from the constraints of societal expectations or bias.
