At Imago Dei Fund, we are motivated by our faith and commitment to the inherent dignity of all people.

Through partnerships rooted in trust and well-being, we invest in organizations and visionary leaders who strive to restore wholeness in our world and address the deeper roots of gender-based injustice.

Our Grantmaking

We recognize our world is interconnected. So, we take a holistic view of human flourishing and center the rights, needs and agency of women and girls. We also value the power of faith, support community-driven change, and are committed to care for creation.

Our Approach

“Clearly, a living fabric has come undone, and we, like weavers, are called to repair it.”

Pope Francis
