Diversity Statement and Land Acknowledgement

The Women’s Fund is on a journey of discovering how our organization has benefited from systems of oppression in Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, and Berkshire counties of Western Massachusetts. We acknowledge that our work takes place on the historic lands of Indigenous peoples, including Agawam, Mohican, Nipmuc, Nonotuck, Pocumtuc, and Wabanaki nations. We believe we must move along a continuum from awareness to acknowledgment to action. In the spirit of dismantling systems of oppression, we provide grants to organizations serving women and girls (with a focus on racial equity) and to regional Indigenous nations and/or organizations directly serving them.
