Member Fund Testimonials

Women’s Funding Network members continue to share the value of being an integral part of the women’s funding movement as well as provide feedback on how capacity building services transform their organizations.

“We spend a lot of time here in the Midwest being far too aware that we are not part of a major metropolitan area and that our fund is comparatively humbler in size. But we also see the poverty and needs here for women and girls and place huge value on our connections to and from the Women's Funding Network. We have never been disappointed with the Network and we intend to keep our membership vital.” Jane Garton, Former Executive Director of the Women’s Fund of Fox Valley

“It is a great honor and privilege to be a part of the Women Moving Millions campaign. Participation gives our Fund visibility and an opportunity to connect our success to the work of others.” Virginia Sweet Executive Director of the Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham

“It seems that just as I'm dreaming about new things or thinking, ‘Gee wouldn't it be great if [Women’s Funding Network addressed an issue]...’ It happens! [Women’s Funding Network] continues to stay ahead of the game when it comes to capacity building opportunities and resources. I get more out of Women’s Funding Network than any other group I’ve been a part of --nationally or internationally. When I write the check for membership dues, I can justify it.”

Executive Director Women’s Fund, Greater Milwaukee.
