Our Approach

The Eva Gunther Foundation supports girls by funding individual fellowship grants and program grants, as well as supporting collaboration amongst its grantee organizations. At the core of engaged philanthropy is the ability to build meaningful relationships in order to best assist grantees’ efforts. Because the Foundation was created to honor Eva’s legacy, the requirement to listen fiercely and with great respect and empathy is at the core of the Eva Gunther Foundation’s approach to philanthropy. Eva was a deeply compassionate soul; her essence was to give and cooperate. Coupling this pedagogy with disciplined professional engagement can identify the most effective strategies to support individual girls and program staff’s capacities.
