PURPOSE Since the inception of LCWF, hundreds of women have received LCWF Grants. These women have entered various fields of work, including teaching, nursing, social service, computer/ medical technology, home health care, and other meaningful service fields.
HISTORY The name, 'Lost Coin Women's Fund, Inc.,' symbolically recalls the biblical passage from Luke 15:8 which recognizes the treasure inherent within all women. These words reflect the LCWF concern for helping women of low-income to more fully express their unique gifts. LCWF Board members review applications monthly and, based on established criteria in the LCWF By-Laws, award Grants to deserving women.

Lost
Coin Women's Fund, Inc. was founded in 1992 by a group of Massachusetts
Catholic women who recognized 1) the increasing feminization of
poverty; and 2) that the poor, overwhelmingly, are women and children.
Because the founding women shared a common vision of a world where
women's gifts would be recognized and valued, they determined to
search out a way to help women in Massachusetts become employable
and therefore self-reliant.
