IP TAKE: The young foundation is still developing its grantmaking strategies, and key partners.

PROFILE: Established in 2018, the Elizabeth Elting Foundation was founded by businesswoman Liz Elting, cofounder of TransPerfect, a language services company. The Elizabeth Elting Foundation is “committed to promoting progressive and feminist efforts to eradicate systemic barriers, promote public health and education, achieve workplace equality, rise beyond the glass ceiling, and open the doors to economic independence for those society has far too often shut out.” The Elizabeth Elting Foundation works to advance the economic, social, and political equality of women and marginalized people.

The foundation has several key partners including American Heart Association and and its Go Red for Women movements. Elting also launched the Elting Family Research Fund to support initiatives for the International Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Foundation.

The young foundation is still developing its grantmaking strategies, and key partners. Grantmaking primarily focuses on New York and the Northeast. Past local grantees include NYU Stern, Columbia University, and Girls Learning Advanced Math (GLAM), where Liz sits on the advisory board.

Though the foundation has a website, it does not detail its grantmaking process. Grantseekers can reach out to the organization via its contact page.
