Since 1994, the Iowa Women's Foundation has been the driving force behind improving opportunities for Iowa's women and girls. Founded by 27 visionary women in Iowa City who asked, "What if every woman and girl in Iowa had a fair opportunity to achieve her personal best?" IWF has grown into a trusted partner serving communities throughout Coralville, Iowa, and beyond. The organization's mission is straightforward yet powerful: when Iowa's women and girls succeed, businesses thrive, communities flourish, and the entire state wins. What sets the Iowa Women's Foundation apart is its commitment to understanding root causes rather than treating symptoms. By conducting targeted research to identify the biggest barriers women face, IWF ensures that every grant, advocacy effort, and educational initiative addresses real, documented needs. Over 25 years, the foundation has built a flexible, adaptable structure that evolves with Iowa's changing landscape while remaining steadfast in its core values. IWF believes in the power of collaboration and partnership, bringing together organizations and community members across Iowa to work toward shared goals. The foundation's holistic approach recognizes that women's success is interconnected—addressing childcare barriers helps with employment, improving education and training opens doors to economic self-sufficiency, and accessible transportation and mentorship create networks of support. For women and girls in Coralville and throughout Iowa seeking support, resources, or partnership opportunities, the Iowa Women's Foundation represents a committed ally invested in their long-term success and wellbeing.
