for the Culture Change Fund  
This grant is part of the Culture Change Collaborative, which aims to transform gender justice by changing how the public thinks about a range of interconnected issues, including abortion, contraception, maternal health, economic security, sexual assault, and gender justice. This grant will support culture and narrative change work in Michigan and Georgia, two states that have significant numbers of people who have nuanced views related to gender justice and where work to shift framing and views on a range of issues has the potential to make a meaningful impact. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)

A grant to the Women's Foundation (San Francisco, CA) would allow the organization to make grants for general operating support to ten organizations in the Central Coast and San Joaquin Valley that work to improve the health and economic security of low-income families and communities of color. In its selection process, the Women's Foundation will prioritize organizations that address inequities in reproductive and environmental health. In the second year of the grant, grantees will receive funds for strategic one-on-one organizational development.
