The Women’s Impact Initiative Awards Grants to Local Organizations

Women

The moment to make a difference is now. With this in mind, Federation Women’s Impact Initiative awarded $70,000 grants to 14 organizations in Miami that help transform the lives of women and girls. While many of the grantees changed the way they work in the wake of the pandemic, the diverse programs share the same goal — improving our community by helping women and girls achieve social, economic, religious and political equality. Initiatives supported range from providing genetic testing to women for hereditary cancer mutations and bringing together an intergenerational group of Jewish women together for meaningful storytelling to creating a sports league for women and funding a student-created film to combat bullying.
