Women's Funding Network
We worked with the Women’s Funding Network on a fundraising presentation for their project called Fund Forward.
They have thoughtful (and hilarious) text on the purpose of their work. You may or may not agree with it, but it’s effective because it’s memorable. They say:
You know the old saying: Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime. In the world of women’s funds, the saying goes like this:
If you give a woman a fish, she will feed her family first and might possibly go hungry.
If you teach a woman to fish, she will feed her family until outside forces take away her fishing rights or pollute the lake.
If you help a woman buy the lake, she will feed her family, keep the lake environmentally clean and have something to pass on to future generations. We support women and girls who are ready to buy the lake. Join us!
