The final $250 million will be awarded this fall through Lever of Change to organizations that work to improve the mental and physical health of women worldwide. “For too long, a lack of money has forced organizations fighting for women’s rights into a defensive posture while the enemies of progress play offense,” French Gates said.

Since its inception, Pivotal has partnered with the Center for Inclusive Computing, Paid Leave for All and the Center for American Women and Politics.
