WOMEN EMPOWERMENT FUND
Knowing that we are stronger when we join together, WIN has donated 3-5% of its income each year to women’s causes through the WIN Fund, which also receives contributions from individuals and companies. We welcome you to make a difference by making a contribution.
special projects
WIN provides support to special projects targeting issues faced by women and girls around the world. Some of these projects have been initiated by past scholarship winners who gain inspiration and tools to accelerate their work at WIN. If you have a project you think WIN should support, please write to info@winconference.net.
