This International Women’s Day we are kicking off our #FeministFuturesNM campaign with a generous matching grant of $115,000. We have raised $60,000 dollars, so far. Help us meet this match!

What are Feminist Futures? #FeministFuturesNM invite us to imagine a world in which women, girls, and gender-expansive folks can thrive and realize the fullness of their being. It means dreaming of a future that does not replicate the inequities of the present, mapping out the pathways to that vision, and then tangibly building that future. #FeministFuturesNM means investing in intersectional feminist movements working for gender justice and healing.

Did you know that only 2% of philanthropic dollars are directed toward organizations led by and serving self-identified women and girls? Of that, a mere 0.6% of funds are directed toward self-identified women and girls of color.
Investing in #FeministFuturesNM means increasing these numbers while expanding our collective imagination beyond them. Due to structural oppression, and the ongoing attacks on our bodies and rights, we are often pushed into defense mode. A futurist position helps us assert an alternative vision of the future and shows us how to get there.

Our map to this future includes: investing in advocacy, organizing, and structural change; supporting, caring for, and sustaining the people in our movement; enabling girls and gender-expansive youth of color to deepen their knowledge, build power, organize, and experience joy; addressing the roots of patriarchy through healthy masculinities work; and publishing decolonial and intersectional feminist research. Investing in #FeministFuturesNM means supporting this imagination and the work that will lead us all to liberation.

Join us in funding this future & doubling your impact by:

  • Make an outright gift of $10 - $50,000. Remember, all gifts will be matched dollar for dollar. 
  • Increasing your usual gift size—all new dollars count toward the match.
  • Inviting a feminist you know to donate today!

Creating #FeministFuturesNM is about bringing into reality a world that does not yet exist.  We’re inviting you to support this imagination by investing in the brilliance and creativity of women, girls, and gender-expansive folks who will shape our policies, communities, and lives for generations to come.

Warmly,

Sarah & the NMW.O team
