WNY Women's Foundation Expands MOMs and Mpower Programs
The WNY Women's Foundation advocates for policy and funding to speed change for women. The MOMs program at Niagara County Community College helps moms stay in school with education to employment support, while Mpower adds workforce coaching internships and mentorship. Close to 100 women have joined Mpower. Data shows half of poverty households in Buffalo are female‑headed. Since 1999 the foundation has shaped policy discussions with national and state agencies and business leaders.
