of Iowa's women and girls through economic self-sufficiency. With a
diversified mix of action and funding including research, grantmaking,

and not just the symptoms of economic illiteracy.
Research: IWF funds and supports research that enables it to invest
wisely in activities that create pathways to economic success for
women and girls.
Fundraising/Grantmaking: At the heart of IWF is the goal of raising
funds to provide grants to organizations that give IWF the power to
advance the lives of women and girls each year.
Advocacy: In order to lead change, IWF educates policy makers
and other community leaders regarding issues and solutions.
Education: IWF educates the community on the importance of
improving the lives of women and girls.
Collaboration: IWF works with social services organizations,
government agencies, schools and businesses to address the
needs of women and girls in a coherent and complete way.
IWF uses research to uncover the biggest barriers to women's success
and their greatest needs, and targets their efforts accordingly to achieve
their goals and make the most significant impact.
