This year’s conference -- Investment, Influence, Impact: Seizing the Moment -- was the largest global event of the year for more than 400 philanthropists, grant makers, community leaders and social entrepreneurs dedicated to investment in women and girls. Women’s Funding Network members include more than 160 women’s funds on six continents around the world.
Never before has there been so much interest, money and promise to create a more balanced world for all by investing in women and girls. For over three decades, women’s funds have been working at the nexus of the complex issues that cause inequity. How can we best capitalize on this opportunity, secure cross-sector commitments and partnerships, and gain lasting results? The Women’s Funding Network’s 2010 conference focused on how together we can seize the moment by increasing our investment, influence and impact to create positive, structural and long-lasting change for communities throughout the world.
"I have never been so excited and so inspired to be a part of this truly global movement," Program Assistant Katie Boysen summed up at the end of the conference.
Consider joining this movement by becoming a donor to the Wyoming Women’s Foundation. Our work across Wyoming is focused on up-stream solutions to the economic disparity many of Wyoming's residents face. Through your support we can truly seize this historical moment and become the Equality State.
