INSPIRE ACTION. IGNITE CHANGE.
The National Philanthropic Collaborative of Young Women’s Initiatives (NPCYWI) works to address the core, structural issues that have kept too many of our nation’s low-income young women—particularly young women of color— from reaching their full potential. Through this national initiative, we highlight issues of disparity, inspire action, ignite change, and engage cross-sector partners, both locally and nationally, in this critical work to ensure equity in outcomes for all young women across our country.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
SYSTEMS & SECTOR CHANGE
To transform the lives of young women of color, we must transform philanthropy and transform systems.
TRUSTING THE LEADERSHIP OF WOMEN OF COLOR
Centering the leadership of young women of color, trusting the leadership of women of color partners and staff to drive this work.
CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERSHIP
This work is scaled when a diversity of partners across sectors are brought in.
OUR REACH
We operate with a “led by-and-for” approach.
It is our belief that those facing the greatest obstacles have the greatest insight. Because of this, it is crucial that these young women and gender-expansive youth of color guide us in our investment priorities.
Thank you to our long-term partner and leader in this work:
