As it celebrates its 25th anniversary this November, the Women’s Fund of Long Island fondly looks back on its past events and accomplishments, and continues to move toward its vision of a bright future for women across Long Island. For the past 25 years, the Women’s Fund of Long Island (WFLI), located in Jericho, has sought “a Long Island where all women and girls reach their full potential” through grantmaking, young women’s leadership programming and education/ awareness activities. One extensive program that the WFLI has held is GirlsFLI, a young women’s leadership initiative founded in 2014 that, according to WFLI office manager Stella Miller, “connects and empowers young women across a diverse economic, ethnic, religious, racial and geographic spectrum to increase participation, advocacy and philanthropy in their communities.” After receiving technical assistance, connections, tools and resources from the WFLI, participants of GirlsFLI reach out to community leaders through guest speaking, site visits, and volunteer opportunities
