The Fund for Homeless Women is building an endowment fund which will serve as a permanent resource to meet changing circumstances.
In addition to the amount raised in the non-endowed spendable fund, a percentage of the Fund’s endowment is available to grant each year. The principal is invested to grow over time and make grants in perpetuity.
Help us create a future where every woman has access to safe affordable housing.

“Grant funding from the Fund for Homeless Women provide support in emergencies so that homeless women in the program can at worst, continue to remain stable in their vehicle and at best, find permanent and stable housing.”
“This grant from the Fund for Homeless Women enabled our agency to realize our vision of creating a program specifically for single, adult women from the Peninsula, and to provide services we knew were long overdue.”
“Women who received these services have had the opportunity to move forward with their lives and achieve their own goals which are otherwise obstructed by the boulders of homelessness and mental illness.”
“Without the support of the Fund for Homeless Women, Gathering for Women would not have had the resources to open our doors.”
