Jessica Shelton's Company Details
The mission of the Women's Fund of Rhode Island is to invest in women and girls in our community through research, advocacy, grant making and strategic partnerships designed to advance gender equity through systemic change. As a social justice organization, our focus is to end gender bias. We envision a community, nation and world where social justice exists for all, and we serve as a catalyst for persuasive, progressive and enduring social change. We believe that investing in women and girls is critical to creating healthy communities. Studies around the world show that when the status of women and girls improves, the status of the community improves overall. Over and over, experience shows that women are the key to economic development, educational attainment, health and well-being, and safety and security in communities around the globe.
