WOMEN EMPOWERMENT FUND
In our spirit of supporting each other, we go beyond the conference itself. Understanding that a high level meeting costs money and knowing that we are stronger when we join together. WIN optimizes time and resources the best it can and it needs you support to survive and expand its mission. It is therefore grateful for all the support it receives in bringing women together. WIN in turn donates 3-5% of the income it receives to its own women's causes and programmes to various other women's causes or to help women who could not otherwise afford to attend the conference.
Donations are made through the WIN Fund Initiative, which also receives contributions from individuals and companies. We invite you to make a difference by contributing so that together we can achieve so much more.
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.
