Francine Talks Philanthropy with Suzanne Miller

Francine Being Honored by BWI with the Hero Award

The Francine A. LeFrak Tools of the Trade helps hundreds of Brooklyn Workforce Innovations (BWI) participants complete training and successfully transition into the workforce annually.

In March 2023, Dana Perino visited the Same Sky Artisans and Same Sky Scholars in Rwanda. She was able to meet the women who made Same Sky's jewelry and baskets. After meeting the artisans, Dana headed to the FAWE School, where she met girls studying STEM.

Dana Perino interviews program participants in New Jersey about their journey after being released from prison.

You can help women coming out of prison get a second chance to reclaim their future. Your gift to our Microgrant Fund will provide emergency resources for women as they work towards re-entering their community with the skills and support they need.
