a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for women, by women

We provide cash grants and resources to women in crisis, most often women navigating the intersection of family and criminal courts. Please scroll down for more information on some of the services we fund.

Inspired by co-founder Emily's virtual fundraisers during her own family court and domestic violence court cases in 2020-2022, she and her husband, a former prosecutor, combined their experiences and passions to establish this organization which achieved 501(c)(3) status in 2023.

Our Board of Directors is diverse and women-led. Each member has an intimate knowledge of the various gaps in the institutions we find ourselves relying on. We are a grassroots organization that is entirely volunteer-based and there are currently zero paid employees of the MWF.
