Three Guineas Fund Values
The following values have guided the Fund’s grants and programs:
 

• Three Guineas Fund works to create social equity by addressing systemic limitations to women’s and girls’ economic access.
 
• Three Guineas aspires to model a philanthropic process and culture promoting partnership, transparency, thinking outside of the box, and long-term relationships with grant partners based on mutual trust and respect.
 
• Three Guineas Fund values collaboration with partners working on issues of girls' and women's economic opportunity. Historically, the Fund has shown a preference for investing in early stage organizations and innovative models where small grants can have significant impact.
 
• We believe that cross-sector partnership can contribute to programmatic effectiveness. The Fund has also invested in models for influencing change inside of powerful institutions such as corporations, governments, and international organizations.
 
• Three Guineas Fund believes that a holistic approach to women and girls is essential. Solutions must integrate health, literacy, self-esteem, labor and basic human rights to effectively contribute to women's economic equity.
 
• We believe that it is important to remain global in our orientation, and to selectively partner with innovative international organizations outside of the United States.
 
• We view economic opportunity for girls and women as a broad based societal issue. Barriers to equality for women exist at all economic levels and across professions, industries, and institutions. The Fund's portfolio of grant partners represents a diversified approach to creating social equity on multiple levels.
