About Women Moving Millions
Women Moving Millions is a dynamic, impact-led community on a mission to catalyze resources to power the movement for gender equality. Our 400-strong membership has collectively committed over $1B to improve the lives of women and girls. Through collaborative leadership (resources, social capital, and expertise), we seek to drive greater impact and accelerate progress. By transforming how we give and invest, we remove barriers for leaders and innovators, inspiring bolder investments from a diverse ecosystem of funding partners. Together, we are building a world where all women have full autonomy, freedom, and agency over every aspect of their lives.
