About The Women’s Forum of New
York:
The Women’s Forum of New York is an
invitation-only organization of more than 500 women
representing the highest levels of achievement
across all professional sectors and spheres of
influence in our city.
Founded in 1974, when women were
first entering the executive ranks, today’s Women
Forum members are recognized among New York’s
thought leaders, influencers, trailblazers,
policymakers, change agents, power brokers,
innovators, icons, creators, and business builders.
Forum membership provides
extraordinary women with the opportunity to network
with a diverse array of peers, to help one another
succeed, and to share unique experiences. We believe
the potential for cross-collaboration among our
diverse membership and generations of members
ignites progress and transformation for all of us.
About The Education Fund of the
Women’s Forum of New York:
The Education Fund is the educational
and charitable arm of The Women’s Forum of New York,
established under a separate corporate governance as
a 501(c)(3) tax deductible organization. Since 1987,
the Fund has provided financial awards to women 35
and over who have demonstrated high potential and
faced extreme adversity which has disrupted their
education and derailed their futures. These women
fall outside the scope of most traditional
scholarship programs and these awards help them
complete their education and get their careers and
lives back on track. Funding is provided by member
donation and an annual fundraising event, The Elly
Awards Luncheon, which honors outstanding women
leaders. To date, the
Education Fund of the Women’s Forum has raised over $1.8
million, enabling us to assist more than 260
women in relaunching their lives and
becoming role models for their families.
