Overview

Mission

PEWIN Foundation leverages the philanthropic power of those interested in advancing the collective interests of women in private markets.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Leadership Lattice is a research initiative developed by the PEWIN Foundation to examine and improve leadership pathways for women in private markets. The project challenges the traditional "career ladder" framework and instead explores a lattice-based model that reflects non-linear career progression shaped by individual choices, professional opportunities, mentorship, sponsorship, and structural factors. The research is intended to produce practical insights and tools for individuals, organizations, and the broader industry to help catalyze systemic change and improve leadership advancement outcomes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
