At Amplify Her® Foundation, we believe when women and girls are in positions of power, influence, and decision-making, it benefits entire communities. Research consistently shows that women’s leadership strengthens economies, enhances health and education outcomes, and elevates overall societal well-being. The evidence underscores the urgency of investing in the leadership development of women and girls now.

CORE ACTIVITIES

Amplify Her® Foundation’s Theory of Change outlines how our core activities work together to ensure women and girls from underserved communities in New York City have the resources and opportunities to become transformative changemakers.

GRANTMAKING

Amplify Her® grantmaking supports initiatives that foster the leadership development of women and girls. Grantee partners align closely with our mission and priorities in the following areas: Advocacy, Women’s Entrepreneurship, Equitable Representation, Girls’ Leadership and Women’s Leadership Development.

COMMUNITY BUILDING

The Amplify Her® Leadership Network plays a crucial role in our community-building efforts by fostering cross-sector relationships, resource-sharing, and grantee partner support. We also create educational and networking opportunities for women and girls, such as Amplify Her® Leadership Labs and Give to Women and Girls Day.

ADVOCACY

Amplify Her® Foundation is committed to systemic change and we recognize the imperative to advance public policies that genuinely reflect the lived experiences of women and girls through advocacy. We have developed a Unified Policy Platform in collaboration with our partners. 

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

Amplify Her® Foundation conducted comprehensive research, surveying over 1,000 New York City women, to uncover the unique barriers they encounter on their leadership journeys and released findings in our ‘If She Can Make It Here’ report. We are committed to using data and storytelling to drive change.

LONG-TERM IMPACT

Together, these interconnected efforts will empower women and girls to lead boldly, transform systems, and inspire a more equitable future for everyone.

INDIVIDUAL LEVEL

As women and girls gain enhanced leadership skills and build stronger professional networks, their representation in leadership and decision-making roles across sectors will increase.

INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL

As women ascend into leadership and decision-making roles within organizations, workplaces will adopt more inclusive practices creating environments where women and girls can thrive.

SYSTEMIC LEVEL

As public attitudes and perceptions about women’s leadership shift, support will grow for public policies that ensure equitable opportunities and a robust care infrastructure.
