Empowering Iowa’s Women and Girls
Our Mission
To improve the lives of Iowa’s
women and girls.
The Iowa Women’s Foundation is committed to improving the lives of Iowa’s women and girls. We use research to uncover the biggest barriers to women’s success as well as their greatest needs, and we invest our passion and resources accordingly.
We understand what barriers impact the
success of Iowa’s women and girls.
Six key barriers were identified as the leading obstacles to women’s economic self-sufficiency.
