The NoVo Foundation, which is run by the son and
daughter-in-law of billionaire investor Warren Buffett, has announced
they will pledge a $90 million investment in girls and young women of
color in the U.S.
The foundation is calling the effort the largest
ever made by a private foundation to address structural problems facing
girls and young women of color in the U.S.
"This work is about dismantling the barriers
that prevent them from realizing that potential and leading us toward a
truly transformative movement for change," said Jennifer Buffett,
co-president of the NoVo
Foundation in a statement released Wednesday.
"Our goal is to create the conditions for change
by advancing the work of the real experts in this movement: girls and
young women of color and the advocates working with them," added Peter
Buffett, co-president.
