Advocacy

Policy decisions at state and local levels need more input, insight, and perspective from women.

WFM Grantee Resources

Every corner of Montana will benefit when we all can experience and learn from the gifts, talents, and leadership of women. Our grantees are excellent sources of information on public policies and leaders at the session advocating for issues impacting the lives of women.

Supporting Women-Run Businesses

Policy decisions at state and local levels need more input, insight, and perspective from women-run businesses, especially small businesses. To build this collective power for women, we are dedicating funds and capacity to support and organize small business owners to share their stories with decision-makers and be a strong voice for policy change.

Past Advocacy

WFM has worked closely on various public policies, including protecting and enhancing the safety net, childcare and caregiver support, health care, reproductive justice, maternal health, equal pay, and ending predatory lending.
