Who we are:

The Women’s Foundation of Montana (WFM) builds resources and leads change to advance the economic security of women and create a brighter future for girls. The WFM invests funds in organizations that help women and girls, while acting as a statewide multi-sector convener and a source of expertise.

The Women’s Foundation of Montana believes that investment in women is an investment in families and ultimately Montana communities – we catalyze this powerful chain reaction to forge the building blocks for a more just and sustainable world.

How we use Status of Women in the States:

Strategic research like the Status of Women in the States report illuminates the unique challenges women face. The Women’s Foundation amplifies the voices of Montana women through policy advocacy, including playing a key role in the Governor’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Task Force, and connecting women to resources and opportunities through our statewide outreach efforts. WFM will use the report as a vital resource for our work and, in partnership with others across the state, change policies and provide programs and resources to reduce the gender pay gap and advance economic security for Montana women.
