Changing How the World Sees Philanthropy

Women Moving Millions is a bold global philanthropic initiative whose goal is to inspire gifts of a million dollars or more to organizations and initiatives that advance and empower women and girls.

In partnership with the Women's Funding Network, we started as a campaign – a global movement - of over 166 women's funds that invest in women-led solutions to critical social issues like poverty and global security.

In May 2009, Women Moving Millions announced that more than $182 million had been raised through partnerships between 102 donors and 41 women's funds. This groundbreaking achievement exceeded the original goal of raising $150 million!

This significant infusion of investment will be a force for change and opportunities of women and girls around the globe, with reverberations for entire communities and countries. Together, women's funds will create sustainable advances in areas from community leadership and education to poverty eradication and healthcare access. Learn more about the impact of women's funds.

This is only the beginning. Over the past 1 ½ years, we have been meeting as a community of donors with limitless passion and drive to create a more just and equitable world. We will soon emerge as a new organization not only continue to encourage and support investments in women’s funds, but also to a broader number of organizations and initiatives with shared values and objectives. If you are funding big and bold, be sure to go to our “What Counts” part of the website and become part of our growing community.
