 Our Foundation
In 2000, to broaden its base of strength in providing scholarships, New York Women in Communications established the New York Women in Communications Foundation. The Foundation supports women who are just entering or are transitioning to communications fields by offering two indispensable types of encouragement: scholarships for students who demonstrate the desire and talent to become future leaders in their chosen communications fields, and educational activities and career opportunities for acquiring the skills that will enable them to succeed and advance. To date we have provided over $668,000 in scholarships to over 124 women.

Our Stats
• 90% hold management positions in advertising & marketing, corporate communications, digital media, magazine and book publishing, and public relations.
• 10% own their business or function as chief executives, senior executives, managing editors, presidents and publishers within major communications firms.
