Happy New Year!
I hope you had a restful and safe holiday season surrounded by those you love. I feel so blessed to have been able to spend the holiday in my hometown Detroit with my mom, family and childhood friends. It was a relaxing and wonderful holiday!
However, it is now back to work and I’m so excited about the New Year’s goals we have set here at the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls! We have pledged to be more purposeful and impactful in our grant-giving for this year.
That doesn’t mean our mission has changed. As always, through our own research and from referrals by wonderful supporters like yourself, we will continue to find new, sustainable and impactful nonprofits around the country that are empowering underserved and underrepresented girls and young women.
We will continue to have a strong vetting process so that, with the donations that you give to us, we will find the best nonprofits to support through funding capacity-building and programs.
This year, we are also setting a goal to continue support to some special past grantees - those that have been particularly impactful with their outreach to girls.
Women-led and Women of Color-led organizations statistically receive the least amount of funding when compared to other nonprofits, and we are seeking to help change those numbers.
And the only way we can do this and meet our goals for this year is with your continued support. This year, we hope you consider pledging a monthly or recurring donation by going to: shaunfoundationforgirls.org/donate.
Together, we can make 2024 an incredibly empowering year for our girls!
Here’s wishing you Love, Prosperity and Health in this New Year!
