Welcome to Women Funded 2021:
The Feminist Factor

On behalf of all of us at the Women’s Funding Network, I am thrilled to welcome the global community of gender and racial justice funders, allies, and individuals to Women Funded 2021. This year’s theme, The Feminist Factor, is an opportunity to have a new and expansive conversation about the critical frameworks that guide, and distinguish, much of our collective work now and into the future.

As we face the layered challenges of racism, sexism, health disparity and a global pandemic, climate change, institutional violence, and autocratic threats to democracy, it is ever more essential that we grapple with both our painful and joyous feminist movement history. Feminism, rooted in our interconnected liberation, is our strength and our challenge.  

Register today to join us for an invigorating conference, all-day live on Thursday, September 23, 2021.

As a global community, we will transcend borders and barriers. We will learn, share, and connect. We will discuss initiatives that are working, assess the current funding landscape, share opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, and leave with concrete action plans. 

Together, we can forge a movement that can withstand the current and upcoming tests. Together, we can continue shaping a more just and equitable future for all of us. I am proud to be by your side.  

Yours for gender equity and justice, 
Elizabeth
