  Miami-Dade County is a diverse and vibrant community, as are the women who live here.  After more than 16 years as the only gender-specific grant maker in Miami-Dade, Women's Fund recognized the tremendous challenges we face with a void of research data about the lives of women and girls in our community.
Women's Fund is changing that.

On April 16, 2009, Women's Fund of Miami-Dade presented the findings from The Portrait of Women and Girls: Portrait of Women's Economic Security in Greater Miami. The breakfast presentation provided analysis and recommendations,
and Women's Fund's top priorities for our community.
