The Valentine Foundation envisions a society in which all women, girls, and non-binary individuals thrive. It is committed to closing gender, racial, ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and other equity gaps in non-profit leadership by funding leadership development for women and non-binary individuals, focusing on those historically under-represented in leadership roles.
The Visionary Leadership Fund, managed by the Valentine Foundation, supports leadership development for women executives and aspiring leaders in the Greater Philadelphia region's non-profit sector, aiming to improve the lives of women and girls. It promotes the effectiveness and development of current and future women leaders, encouraging a community among them. The grant program supports innovative, entrepreneurial vision, credibility, influence, respect towards followers, generosity, alignment with core values and ethics, effectiveness in outcomes, and long-term problem solving. A grant pool of $40,000–$45,000 supports efforts to develop visionary leadership skills among women from groups historically under-represented in leadership roles, including Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGBTQ+, and People with Disabilities.
