A Big Win for Women’s Health: Tigerlily Foundation Tapped by New $250M Action Fund

Tigerlily named an Action for Women’s Health awardee in a nation‑wide announcement

Tigerlily Foundation was named today as one of the recipients of a new philanthropic effort called Action for Women’s Health. The announcement, made in a press release dated Dec. 11, 2025, confirmed that the initiative has committed $250 million to support more than 80 organizations worldwide. The recognition puts Tigerlily in a group chosen to expand services aimed at improving women’s mental and physical health.

Why the Action for Women’s Health fund exists and how it works

Action for Women’s Health launched in 2024 with a clear goal: to pump flexible, large-scale funding into groups that deliver real health help for women. The $250 million commitment is meant to be a multiyear push, not a one-off grant, and it is focused on a broad set of needs—from clinical care and preventive services to mental health and community-based support.

The program’s open call picked organizations across regions and specialties. By naming more than 80 grantees, the fund-makers say they want to create a network of projects that can learn from each other and scale what works. The ambition is both local—improving access and services in particular neighborhoods—and global, supporting programs that reach women in low- and middle-income countries as well as wealthy ones.

Why Tigerlily Foundation was selected: mission and track record

Tigerlily Foundation is a nonprofit that focuses on women’s health, combining education, outreach and direct support. Over the years it has built community programs and awareness campaigns that aim to reach women who are often missed by traditional health systems—young women, people from underserved neighborhoods, and others who face barriers to care.

That mix of practical service and public education fits the Action for Women’s Health playbook: funders wanted groups that both deliver programs now and can show how their work could be expanded or copied elsewhere. Tigerlily’s history of grassroots work and partnerships in clinics, schools and community centers made it a strong match for the fund’s goals.

How the award is likely to change Tigerlily’s work and who will benefit

The announcement did not include a specific dollar amount for Tigerlily, and the fund’s organizers say some grant details will be finalized in the coming months. But the fund’s general aim gives a clear signal about how the money might be used: expect expansion of mental‑health supports, bigger outreach campaigns, more training for peer counselors, and stronger links to primary care for women who need screening or treatment.

Those programs typically target young women, survivors of gender‑based violence, people in rural or economically strained areas, and communities of color—groups that research shows face higher hurdles to good health. While exact beneficiary numbers weren’t disclosed, the fund’s size and the decision to support dozens of groups suggest many thousands of women could see improved services over the next few years.

What happens next and how the public can follow developments

Both Action for Women’s Health and Tigerlily say they will share program details and rollout plans in the months ahead. Look for announcements about specific projects, partners and timelines from the foundation and from the fund’s organizers. The groups indicated they plan to publish updates on program pilots, partnerships and early results as work gets underway.

For readers who want to stay informed, the fastest route will be Tigerlily Foundation’s own communications—press releases, social posts and event listings. Supporters who wish to help are normally invited to attend public events, sign up for newsletters, or donate to the foundation’s general work; the award itself is aimed at building capacity so Tigerlily can reach more people without replacing local services.

Overall, the recognition places Tigerlily in a broader, well‑funded effort to treat women’s mental and physical health as a priority. The next year will show whether the program’s scale translates into deeper, measurable impact on the ground.
