Give the gift that EMPOWERS women and girls!
Dear Friend of Feminist.com,
Feminist.com is many things to many people.
It is a thriving online community, a resource library, an activism promoter, a networking engine, and an Internet "home" for women and women's organizations all over the world. That's why 1 million women and girls (and men too!) have visited Feminist.com this year and why they come back time after time.
It was a sense of idealism and commitment to women that launched Feminist.com, a not-for-profit organization, over a decade ago. However, women and girls cannot be supported through idealism alone. We need the help of generous and caring people like you! Make your tax-deductible donation now to Feminist.com's Next Level Campaign to keep the site going and growing!
Visitors to Feminist.com write:
"I am a rural feminist who has been feeling isolated, but now I feel at home."
"I am a 28-year-old wife, mother of two, daughter, ex-wife and corporate career woman who needed a feminist support system and I think I have found a safe haven to sit down at my computer and not feel so all alone. Thank you."
People from all over the world come to Feminist.com, from places like Tokyo, Japan; Geelong, Australia; Dunedin, New Zealand; southern Africa; Dublin, Ireland; the Caribbean; Maryland, Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, Ohio and Arkansas -- to name just a few.
"Being a feminist and living and working in Bosnia I found your site a precious source of information and also very inspiring."
When Feminist.com was founded more than 10 years ago, it was one of the FIRST web sites for women and girls, but it was the ONLY web site providing a free online home for other non-profit organizations that lacked the resources for sites of their own. Since that time, Feminist.com has not lost sight of its original mission; today, most organizations have web sites, but Feminist.com continues to serve the community by promoting partner organizations' work, highlighting their important initiatives, and making it easier for you and others to access their resources. This helps the organizations AND Feminist.com visitors alike.
"Feminist.com's support of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network has been tremendously valuable for sexual assault survivors across America. By hosting and linking to RAINN's web site, Feminist.com has helped us to reach thousands of survivors...We are grateful for the assistance of Feminist.com, one of RAINN's earliest supporters..."
Our purpose is and always has been to help individuals and organizations find each other and the information and resources they need to improve their lives and situations. On any given day, we introduce women's studies majors to Gloria Steinem through her online Inspiring Conversation, lead rape survivors to our Anti-Violence Resource Guide, help men find their feminine voice, publicize Equality Now's and other organizations' latest campaigns...and the list goes on and on.
Despite very little funding, we've accomplished a great deal, but there's so much more that we can and want to do. We need YOUR help to get to the next level!
Of the limited funds we receive, less than 1% comes from donations from our visitors. Help us change this statistic! Support Feminist.com's Next Level Campaign to raise $15,000 by December 31. If you have benefitted from Feminist.com or want to ensure that women and girls, men and boys, continue to benefit in the future, please make a generous donation this holiday season. $100 or more will have a tremendous impact on what we can do - together!
Marianne Schnall, Founder and President
