    Montclair Fund for Women

    Summary

    The Montclair Fund for Women (MFW), a private foundation, is the corporate successor of the former Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Montclair-North Essex. This YWCA was originally the Young Colored Women's Christian Association, founded by black American women who came to Montclair seeking education and employment. Over the years, the black women carefully forged an alliance with white women who shared their values and goals, and the YWCA became one of Montclair's prominent organizations, providing a broad range of innovative programs and resources to the community.

    Montclair Fund for Women will invest in programs that promote Social and Economic Justice, Educational Advancement and Achievement, and the Strategic Strengthening of Historic Black organizations to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
