The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation (The Purpose Fund)
From Neighbors to Community: Redesigning Systems Through Connection for Women
This initiative redesigns workplace culture and practices through neighbor-to-neighbor, and peer-led community networks so women in early learning, nonprofits, and small businesses can thrive.
Women in early learning, nonprofit, and small business sectors are navigating sandwich generation demands - caring for children and aging relatives, supporting family mental health, and managing the physical toll of caregiving alongside jobs. Inflexible workplaces, bias, and limited advancement drive burnout and workforce exit. From Neighbors to Community shifts work culture by redesigning how work works for women. We will strengthen belonging, retention, and economic security by activating neighbor-to-neighbor peer networks, Community Navigators, and employer support.
