The Valentine Foundation is a Philadelphia-area grantmaking organization that, for over 30 years, has been providing charitable funds to organizations and programs which result in the empowerment of women and girls. The Foundation is committed to funding programs and organizations that effect fundamental social change and result in substantive change in systemic attitudes, practices and policies that prevent women and girls from realizing their full potential. The Foundation has two grantmaking streams, one from the the Foundation and one from the Visionary Leadership Fund. Additionally, Valentine makes investments in the community through low-interest loans to nonprofit organizations in accordance with the Mission Aligned Investment policy.
