Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) is a nonprofit public policy organization that advocates for free markets, limited government, and individual liberty, with a focus on policies affecting women and families. Founded in 1992, the organization promotes conservative and libertarian-leaning perspectives in public debates and seeks to advance policies it argues expand economic opportunity and personal freedom.
IWF typically pursues legislation related to tax reform, deregulation, health care reform, education choice, labor policy, parental rights, energy policy, and opposition to certain gender identity and Title IX regulations. The organization frequently supports market-based policy solutions and limited government approaches.
The organization is primarily funded through private donations from individuals, foundations, and philanthropic supporters.
