WF POWER ILLUMINATOR Challenge

We invite you to become a Power Illuminator…

The individuals listed here have used the power of collective philanthropy by investing at least $1,000 in support of the Women’s Fund mission to mobilize philanthropy. These gifts unite people, shape community consciousness, and promote solutions that create gender equity.

While we have hundreds of individuals supporting our mission with gifts of all sizes, we celebrate the specialness of these people who are making change through their investments. Thank you for your generosity!

To celebrate Power Illuminators, I am giving a gift to the Women’s Fund of $23,000.

But there’s more.

As I’ve given at the WF, I have found more courage, a bigger voice, and I’ve become more powerful. As you can imagine, this changes relationships. Isn’t that what our work is about? To change culture and to create a more equitable world, we need to be courageous. We need to step into our power and use our voices in ALL our relationships — with spouses and partners, colleagues and neighbors, and everyone we interact with. This is how real change occurs — relationship by relationship, life by life. This is how we create an equitable community.

To continue on this adventure of creating that community, to move toward this goal, I am giving a matching gift of $1,000 (up to $24,000) for each NEW Power Illuminator who makes a gift before October 31, 2024. 

Can YOU imagine the possibilities? Add your name to the list!
