"Chairman Andy Coleman says Swansea City will "put money where our mouth is" in an attempt to drive up the standard of women's football in Wales.
Swansea are to appoint their first full-time women's boss as well as the club's first head of women's football.
The women's side turned semi-professional in the summer, with Coleman arguing there is no limit to what they can achieve.
"We have talked about glass ceilings with women for way too long," he said.
"Why set a ceiling on ourselves? I don't believe in ceilings. Let's see what we can do as a community, as a club and as a country and see where this takes us.
"We want football for women and girls in Wales to succeed across the entire country."
Though they wore the same kit, Swansea's female side were a separate entity from the men's Championship club until Coleman was named chairman in May.
Now known as Swansea City Women - they were previously Swansea City Ladies - they are officially part of the men's club and have 16 semi-professional players."
