Hurricane Helene... 50/50 Split
This initiative has concluded
Your Gift Helped Unite People
As the impact of Hurricane Helene continued to wreak havoc, communities were grappling with devastation in ways that was difficult to comprehend. Homes were destroyed, livelihoods disrupted, and lives changed. In times of unimaginable hardship, women bear the brunt of the storm’s aftermath. They face the loss of their homes and businesses and also the burden of rebuilding — often from the ground up.
That’s why we launched a special initiative to extend our hand to those most affected. From October 1-10, we committed to evenly split (50/50) all gifts received with the Women’s Fund of the Blue Ridge. Whether it was your first gift, an enhanced gift, or a renewal gift, your generosity during this critical window was shared to ensure maximum impact.
Research shows that Women’s Funds and Foundations move money nine months faster than traditional granting entities. In moments like these, speed matters. Additionally, it is women that remain engaged during the recovery and resilience-building process. By supporting this initiative, you stood with women facing challenges at every turn. You made a profound statement: we believe in women.
