Jean Shafiroff, thanked everyone for attending
the
luncheon. She then spoke about how The New York Women's
Foundations was a cross- cultural alliance, whose mission
is to
empower women and girls by helping them to sustain
economic security and justice. "
it is a great honor to be
able to work with
Diana and so many others for such a
noble charity."

The New York Women's
Foundation® (NYWF®) was established in 1987
as a public philanthropy to be a voice for
women and a force for change. From the
outset, the founders strove to identify
innovative organizations that were truly
working to make a difference in the
communities they served. The Foundation has
thrived on the vision of combining hands-on
philanthropy with community-driven projects
to address the needs of low-income women and
girls. We have seen that, by asking our
volunteers and supporters to help search out
and fund women-generated projects serving
low-income communities, we build
partnerships among women who have the
resources to give, women who can teach us
more about their neighborhoods, and women
who are overcoming the challenges
of poverty.
