Secure Your Place in History

Turn your inspiration into action. The Women Moving Millions Campaign is an opportunity to realize the potential of your philanthropy, enabling you to direct it intelligently and effectively, where it will have the greatest impact.

Unleash Your Imagination
The scope and potential of your investment is as boundless as your imagination. Whatever the issue that drives and inspires you, there’s a way to express your personal passion through this initiative.

Whether you’re galvanized by the issue of human trafficking, human rights or education, or ignited by a passion to improve women’s representation in the arts, sports or political life, there is a women’s fund investment for you. Our network of 126 women’s funds touches almost every corner of the globe – from New England to Nepal. Your investment can express your connection with the communities and causes that are closest to your heart and accomplish your strategic philanthropy goals.

You might also consider the option of dedicating your gift in honor of a daughter, sister, mother or partner. Imagine how your investment could pay tribute to the woman or women who have been an inspirational force in your own life.

Directing Your Investment
Investments of $1 million or more can be given to a single Women’s Funding Network member fund, several member funds, the Women’s Funding Network or a combination of your choice.

Making a significant investment in women and girls is a life-changing experience. To optimize your experience, you can choose the type of gift that is right for you. Based on a dialogue with your women’s fund beneficiaries of choice, many options are available, which may include:

  • Cash
  • Publicly traded securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares
  • Unencumbered assets that can be immediately liquidated; for example, real estate
  • Planned investments such as bequests, IRA or retirement plans, life income arrangements, charitable lead annuities, Unitrusts or life insurance policies
Where Your Money Goes
Your gift to the women’s funding movement is a catalyst for positive change for the world’s women and girls. And while every fund is independent, they share similar values. Women’s funds embrace diversity as a living value; they prize collaboration in strategy, grant-making and problem-solving; and act as go-to institutions for questions, resources, ideas and actions about women and girls. They also share similar grant-making priorities. Over 80% of grants made by women’s funds flow to women and girls in poverty. Globally the shared top priority of women’s funding is economic justice. Other areas of focus include gender-based violence, health, education, empowerment, human rights and reproductive rights. Membership of the Women’s Funding Network includes public charities, funds within community foundations and other larger foundations.
