Women’s Fund of Rhode Island is a nonprofit organization, which invests in women and girls in RI through research, advocacy, and strategic partnerships designed to eliminate gender inequity through systemic change.  Communities are stronger, our economy is more prosperous and our nation is more just when we invest in the health and well-being, economic self-sufficiency, and leadership and advancement of women and girls. Despite these benefits, nationally less than 8 cents of every dollar invested by organized philanthropy is targeted toward women and girls.  This is why the Women’s Fund of Rhode Island (WFRI) exists- to harness the power of philanthropy to create transformative social change for women and girls, our communities, and our nation.

We are reaching out to businesses to request a silent auction donation for our largest fundraiser of the year, Women Leading Change: Our Voices Matter on September 30, 2020. Will you show your support for women & girls in RI by making an in-kind gift today?  We will be sure to recognize your business on our social media, in our event program, annual report, and at the event. https://events.eventzilla.net/e/women-leading-change-our-voices-matter-2138763263

Economic insecurity is at the root of many of the problems women and girls face in RI. According to TalkPoverty.org, more than 14.4% of RI’s working-age women lived below the poverty line in 2016- we ranked 23 out of 50 states.  40.6% of single mothers in RI lived in poverty during this time period.  Help us turn that number around with your in-kind donation, which may help your business grow by introducing it to new customers!

If you’d like to learn more about the Women’s Fund of Rhode Island, please visit our website at www.wfri.org and/or like us on Facebook.  Of course, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have if you’d like to reach me at ebrown@wfri.org or 401-262-5657.  Thanks in advance for your in-kind donation!

Sincerely,

Ellie Brown
