Financing Feminist Futures: Beyond Traditional Grants Toward Feminist Financial Resilience
Host: Fund Her Now
You are warmly invited to the Fund Her Now brunch roundtable. Join us for a participatory discussion on building financial resilience for feminist work—and what’s at stake when we don’t.
Over brunch, feminist funds, investors, philanthropists & social change leaders will talk together about:
- What happens when traditional grants aren't enough
- New ways to fund and protect feminist movements with catalytic capital
- How to build impactful financial models that actually work for communities.
Let’s imagine better solutions through honest, curious conversation. Humor very welcome.
