Profile

For over thirty-seven years, cfw has been the only organization in the region to take a comprehensive approach to understand and address the challenges and needs women and girls face through every stage of their lives with a focus on economic security, freedom from violence, and access to health care services and information. Cfw works with a community of socially-minded investors who share our passion for improving the lives of women, girls, trans, and gender nonbinary people and ensures that every dollar they give achieves maximum impact. We hold ourselves and our grantees to a high standard, conducting rigorous evaluation, careful monitoring, and community-centered results. Cfw also invests in the future of organizations through leadership development and building sustainable nonprofit infrastructure. As a result, two-thirds of nonprofits for which cfw was the first institutional funder are still thriving ten years after receiving their first cfw grant.

Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Chicago foundation for women is a grantmaking organization dedicated to increasing resources and opportunities for women and girls in the greater chicago area. Our work is rooted in three areas of women's rights - economic security, freedom from violence, and access to health care services and information. To support our philanthropy, the foundation promotes increased investment in women and girls, raises awareness about their issues and potential, and develops them as leaders and philanthropists.

Chicago foundation for women (cfw) invests in women and girls as catalysts, building strong communities for all. The foundation envisions a world in which all women, girls, trans and gender non-binary individuals have the opportunity to thrive in safe, just and healthy communities.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The board of directors passed a resolution in fy 2012 stating that the board of directors shall have an opportunity to review a final draft of the irs form 990, and that, after such review, the audit committee chair, on advice and consent of the audit committee, shall review, revise as appropriate, and approve for signature and filing, by an officer of chicago foundation for women, the irs form 990 (and appropriate state filings).”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Prior to the first board meeting of each fiscal year, all directors are asked to fill out and sign a conflict of interest policy form. When relevant, committee members and staff are also requested to complete the conflict of interest policy form. Before any vote by the board on grants, the chair specifically asks if any voting member has any conflict as to any organization that is the subject of the vote.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“During fy 2023, the personnel committee of the board of directors reviewed the performance of the president and recommended a compensation level based on comparative national database information, education, years of experience, budget responsibility and overall results for the reporting period. The compensation recommendation was submitted to and approved by the executive committee of the board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available upon request. Audited financial statements and irs form 990 can be found on our website at www.cfw.org.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“Earnings provide an ongoing source of income for the foundation.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Cfw has been determined to be exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, and accordingly, no provision has been made for either federal or state income taxes. Cfw has evaluated the tax positions taken for all open tax years. Currently, the returns for the prior three fiscal years are open and subject to examination by the internal revenue service; however, cfw is not currently under audit nor has cfw been contacted by this jurisdiction. Based on the evaluation of cfw's tax positions, management believes all positions would be upheld under an examination; therefore, no provision for the effects of uncertain tax positions has been recorded for the years ended june 30, 2024 and 2023.”
