Founded in 2004, the Global Women's Fund of New York helps women to become leaders in their communities, often breaking gender and class barriers, by providing scholarships for higher education and grants for educational seminars. Scholarship recipients are now doctors and nurses, engineers, Anglican priests, and leaders in many other fields. The Global Women's Fund believes that higher education positively changes women, their families, their communities, and the world. If you c
