AWDF and the Women Raising Millions Campaign

It was very exciting to find out at the Women Funding Network's (WFN) annual conference (held in Atlanta, Georgia between the 30th of April and the 2nd of May) that the Women Raising Millions Campaign had surpassed it's US$150m target and raised more than US$175m. What is even more significant about the campaign is that for the very first time in history high networth women are giving huge amounts of financial resources (US$1m or more) to women's funds. This has never been done before, the North American suffragette movement for example was funded mainly by men.

Today the official press release on this momentous achievement was announced in New York and San Francisco. AWDF is proud to be one of the women's funds recognised for participating in the Women Raising Millions campaign at WFN's "Changing the face of Philanthropy Awards" luncheon.
