In Queens, Forestdale is there for families.

A community partner of The New York Women's Foundation, Forestdale, Inc. works to ensure every child has a safe, nurturing family and the resources to thrive. Oftentimes, that looks like the immediate relief of parenting support, education and health care.

But Forestdale's work doesn't stop there. They are also looking to the long-term, working to break cycles of poverty and trauma and create stronger communities.

At this year's Neighborhood Dinner in Queens, we’ll celebrate Forestdale's Lorraine Stephens with the Neighborhood Leadership Award. While the dinner is sold out, you can still support our community leaders in Queens with a gift, or share a digital message recognizing this year's honorees.

We mourn the passing of Dolores Huerta, whose iconic leadership changed the world through her lifelong fight for farmworkers, women, and communities.

In 2007, The New York Women's Foundation honored Dolores with The Century Award at our Celebrating Women® Breakfast, recognizing a leader who helped change the course of our lives.

We remember Dolores for her courage, her determination, and her lifelong commitment to justice. Her legacy lives on in the generations who continue the fight.

Rest in power, Dolores Huerta.

Join us in welcoming Tamara Toles O’Laughlin, the next President and CEO of The New York Women's Foundation! 🌟

Tamara brings extensive experience in philanthropy and nonprofit leadership, most recently as President and CEO of the Environmental Grantmakers Association. Her career has focused on putting more power and resources in the hands of communities, a commitment at the heart of The Foundation's mission.

Tamara begins January 4, succeeding Ana L. Oliveira, whose extraordinary leadership over more than 20 years has transformed The Foundation's reach and impact.

As we approach our 40th anniversary, we’re deeply grateful for all Ana has made possible and excited for what lies ahead. At this consequential moment for New York City, Tamara brings the experience and perspective to lead The Foundation forward alongside community leaders and donor partners who share our vision of a city where all women, girls and gender-expansive people can thrive.

You showed up. And it matters.

Because of the generosity of our donor community, The New York Women's Foundation raised over $550,000 this summer, unlocking a full match from an anonymous donor.

Those resources will help support community partners across New York who are meeting urgent needs, protecting hard-won progress and continuing to lead the way forward.

To every donor who stepped forward, thank you. And to our community partners doing this work every day: we are proud to stand alongside you.
