Because of you, we're swiftly giving

Invest. Build. Connect.

We steward and invest that precious 1.6% of all giving to empower Maine women and girls.

We invest meaningfully and swiftly.

Our Swift Grants Program invests in the leadership of women and girls from marginalized communities who are least likely to benefit from all other giving.

Because of your generous donations, we recently awarded:

$1,500 to Gedakina to provide a series of self-defense classes for Native women, girls and two spirit people in their communities because more than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaskan Native women have experienced violence and more than 1 in 2 has experienced sexual violence.

$1,470 to the Somali Bantu Community Association to build on their ongoing Women's Empowerment Program by planning a spring celebration to support and enhance women breaking out of traditional silence and isolation.

$1,500 to Community Change Inc. to support a one day symposium on Saturday, September 14 in Biddeford designed to deepen anti-racism organizing in predominantly white communities that over 200 people attended.

$1,500 to the Maine Poor People's Campaign (through fiscal sponsor Resources for Organizing for Social Change) to support their upcoming October 10 march and mass assembly in Portland to challenge systemic poverty, systemic racism, ecological devastation, militarism, and the nations distorted morality.
