Our Work

Nokomis Foundation combines thought and action to advocate for women and their families. As a funder, we value creativity and experimentation. We invest in innovation and in proven solutions. As a feminist organization, we study emerging issues affecting women and their families and engage with a network of partners, colleagues and communities to share knowledge and extend our impact.

Our History

Founded in 1989 by Mary Caroline "Twink" Frey, Nokomis Foundation provides expertise, funding and partnerships to create a stronger voice for women and their families.

Our first 15 years provided grants for capacity building, innovation and convening around critical issues of the day. A strategic renewal process has led us to focus on civic engagement and economic self-sufficiency.
