The Women & Girls’ Fund works to make it possible for women and girls to improve the quality of their lives. The Women & Girls’ Fund was established in 2001 as a community based endowment of the Main Street Community Foundation.

This fund serves women and girls of all ages in Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott.
