BPW Foundation
Home

Established in 1956, Business and Professional Women’s (BPW) Foundation became the first foundation dedicated to conducting research and providing information solely about workingwomen. In the 21st Century, BPW Foundation is striving to transform workplaces by focusing on issues that impact workingwomen, their families and their employers. Everyday, BPW Foundation aims to fulfill its mission to empower workingwomen to achieve their full potential and to partner with employers to build successful workplaces.

As neutral conveners, BPW Foundation uses the power of research, education, policy and knowledge to engage the public and key stakeholders in order inspire collaboration, to create systemic change in the workplace and to expand the options workingwomen have for more equitable, flexible workplaces.
