Making Change Happen And Helping Women Move Millions

Yesterday I read a piece in the Dallas newspaper about the Dallas Women's Foundation. I was intrigued by the concept of a fund that raised money from women and then granted it to women and children's organization in town. I even visited their site in the middle of the night checking out the kind of grants they were making. I wondered how long it would be before Sacramento could also do something along those lines. (If there is something already, please let me know) and decided that I would write a post on this topic today.

Imagine my surprise when this morning a post was placed on the Huffington Post written by Helen LaKelly Hunt, a founder of the Dallas Women's Foundation. And she, in conjunction with her sister, Swanee Hunt, has issued a challenge to other women in order to raise $150M over the next two years 'to propel the aggregate assets and grant-making of women's foundations globally past the billion-dollar mark'.

Please check out her post. And let's figure out how to support Women Moving Millions, no matter how small the contribution we can make, to exceed their goal!
