Now through Thursday, May 9
In partnership with GiveMN, the Women’s Foundation of MN is launching Minnesota’s first-ever statewide Feminist Giving Day. The goal of Feminist Giving Day is to raise awareness about and change the fact that less than 2% of philanthropic dollars go toward organizations centering women and girls. Help us grow the 2% by donating to support our campaign from May 1-9. As the first statewide Women’s Foundation, we want to show the rest of the U.S. what is possible!
Thursday, May 9 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Join Urban Homeworks for a tour of one of our passive homes currently under construction!
