Our Relations with Boston Women’s Fund
The Boston Women’s Fund (BWF) provides fiscal sponsorship and start-up resources for the Jasmine Asian Women Giving Circle (JAWGC).
The Jasmine Circle is the direct outcome of Our Public Spirit, a program of BWF in collaboration with Haymarket People’s Fund and the Women’s Theological Center.
Established in 1984, BWF was the first women’s foundation in Massachusetts, and is one of the oldest women’s foundations nationally.
