About us
Chrysalis is a public foundation established to address the needs of girls and women in the Greater Des Moines area. We are a leader in improving our community by assuring the well-being of girls and women through education, grant making, and philanthropy. Chrysalis promotes increased investment in girls and women, raises awareness about their issues and potential, and develops them as leaders and philanthropists. We inspire girls and women to aspire to economic security, personal leadership, and equality every day of their lives. Mission: Chrysalis is dedicated to increasing resources and opportunities for girls and women in Des Moines. Vision: Chrysalis envisions a world of independent, influential, confident, and contributing girls and women who are fully involved in civic, cultural, and economic life in their communities. History: Chrysalis was founded in 1989 by Louise Rosenfield Noun, along with her friends Senator Elaine Szymoniak and Attorney Barbara Barrett. Over the next decade, we expanded our board, hired staff, and created its signature program, Chrysalis After-School, in addition to funding key programs serving girls and women in Polk, Warren, and Dallas Counties in central Iowa. In work to engage organizations and stakeholders concerned for the well-being of girls and women, we created and lead the Women's Alliance as a partnership to learn together, share resources, and bring a collective voice for girls and women throughout Greater Des Moines and Iowa.

Sonia Navarro, Chrysalis After-School and GirlPower Alumnae took the stage to share about her own experience growing up as a 'First Gen' and especially acknowledged the particular struggle of the 'parentified child.' "A parentified child is a child who takes on roles and responsibilities that are typically expected of an adult. This can involve caring for siblings, managing household tasks, or providing emotional support to parents." While this role may help the family function in the short term, it can have long-term impacts. Learn more here: https://ow.ly/BM9r50TIPcS

☕ Coffee with Chrysalis: A Conversation for Prevention 🗓 November 8, 2024 🕒 8:30-9:30 am 📍Barista's Bouquet: 5938 Ashworth Rd, West Des Moines, IA 50266 --- Join us for an important and candid conversation at our Coffee with Chrysalis event, featuring Mindspring Mental Health Alliance.

Whether you’re seeking information, want to contribute your thoughts, or just want to be part of the conversation, we welcome you. 💬 RSVP today! https://lnkd.in/gQhMAAyB For more details, contact us at info@chrysalisfdn.org We hope to see you there!
