Arrived in Atlanta yesterday for the Women's Funding Network's annual conference on the theme "Investing in Women: Worldwide Return". Participated in 2 pre-conference activities today - Women Raising Millions Capacity Building Training which had Helen Hunt, one of the lead donors to the campaign present. The training event was unique because it was an opportunity to interact with donors who had given US$1 million or over. Some of what stuck with me from this training event included:
Helen Hunt's comment that donors are actually grateful to women's funds for enabling them to give these significant gifts.
Donors want to be involved in the work and not just provide the cheques.
Bringing donors together is really empowering (for donors).
The second event was a meet and greet for new attendees to WFN's annual conference.
Will keep you posted.
Love from Atlanta,
