Mission Statement
The Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF), founded in 1987, is the nation's largest feminist research and action organization dedicated to women's equality, reproductive rights and health, and non-violence. Led by FMF President Eleanor Smeal, the programs focus on advancing the legal, social and political equality of women with men, countering the backlash to women's advancement, and recruiting and training young feminists to encourage future leadership for the feminist movement. To carry out these aims, FMF engages in research and public policy development, public education programs, grassroots organizing projects, leadership training and development programs. As we are committed to winning equality for women worldwide, all of our work incorporates a global focus.
Its sister organization, the Feminist Majority (formerly Fund for the Feminist Majority), a 501(c)(4) organization, focuses on empowering women in public policy-making as well as in gender balance in elective and appointive offices.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.”
—David Jenkins (b. 1925)
