“Beyond funding, the collaborative community that you support is essential in how we move forward into sustainable systemic change.”
~ Shannon Els, Executive Director, ArtVan
At this time in history, we are especially proud to help support collaboration rather than competition among the many incredible organizations that have been at the forefront of our annual grantmaking advancing gender equity for the last five years. We’re delighted to report one of our long-term grantee partners will share half of their grant with Wabanaki Women’s Coalition in recognition of their powerful leadership in support of Wabanaki women and girls.
“The Maine Women’s Fund is an inspiration, a coach, and a connector to me all the time. Their support goes beyond grant money to empower people.” ~ Claudette Ndayininahaze, Co-founder and Executive Director of In Her Presence
