We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Promotes economic self-sufficiency for women and girls through grant-making, education, and advocacy. The focus of the organization is: partnering and collaborating with key institutions, agencies, foundations and corporations.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To promote economic self-sufficiency for women and girls.

  • For more than three decades, the Women's Foundation of Genesee Valley (WFGV) has been a catalyst for advancing economic self-sufficiency, leadership, and opportunity for women and girls across the Greater Rochester Area. Each year, WFGV directly serves more than 600+ women and girls through dynamic programs, professional development sessions, mentorship experiences, and youth leadership opportunities. Indirectly, our reach extends to over 20,000 community members through our advocacy work, awareness campaigns, and collaborative partnerships that strengthen the ecosystem of support for women and girls. WFGV operates through two vital arms that work in harmony to achieve lasting impact. (Continued on Schedule O)The first arm is our programmatic and community engagement division, which is powered entirely through fundraising. Through this arm, we design and deliver experiences that amplify the voices of women, equip them with tools for professional and personal growth, and cultivate a network of empowerment that uplifts generations. Signature initiatives include the Power Her Forward Girls Conference, the Girls Leadership Committee, Law Enforcement Days, 1:1 Coaching, Career Exploration Fieldtrips, and tailored programming for girls with intellectual disabilities. All for girls between the ages of 12-19. We also offer professional development opportunities for adult women focused on entrepreneurship, business fundraising, brand building, and professional etiquette. Each experience is designed to spark confidence, strengthen skills, and inspire lasting change. Together, these programs create a ripple effect that advances fairness, economic mobility, and community transformation. This program is supported by contributions.

    Expenses $159,078

  • The Women's Foundation of Genesee Valley manages a grantmaking endowment, which is designated for providing grants to nonprofits that align with our mission. We consider this to be our second arm of programming. Each year, our grantmaking efforts directly impact more than 20,000 women and girls in the Greater Rochester Area, including families and community members who gain from stronger, more accessible systems of support. This managed endowment is solely dedicated to grantmaking, ensuring that funds entrusted to us continue to strengthen the region's nonprofit network for generations to come.(Continued on Schedule O)While the endowment is used to support other organizations, the Women's Foundation of Genesee Valley remains responsible for actively fundraising to sustain its own programs and initiatives. This program is supported by net investment returns.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
