#WomensEqualityDay is a powerful reminder of the long journey to advance women’s rights, from securing the vote in 1920 to breaking down the racial and gender barriers that still exist today. Today, we are witnessing a pivotal moment as women's voices are leading the way in philanthropy, steering the future of wealth, and challenging the status quo—all with the potential to shatter the highest glass ceilings. At Women Moving Millions, we know that true equality demands bold action. Let’s use our voices and resources to drive the change we need and build a fairer world for everyone. Together, we can be the engine that supercharges the movement for gender equality.

📖 Congratulations to the visionary authors behind "The Uprising of Women in Philanthropy"! This groundbreaking book showcases the power of women-led philanthropy and the enduring legacy we're building together. We’re especially proud that Helen LaKelly Hunt and Chris Grumm are among the authors of this important work. Their leadership and vision were instrumental in the early days of Women Moving Millions and our original campaign. Our CEO, Sarah Haacke Byrd, whose quote is featured in the book, sums it up perfectly: the success of communities like WMM “shows what happens when you combine the power of feminist leadership and community; the impossible becomes possible.” The journey is far from over, and we invite everyone to join us in pushing for lasting change. Together, we can be the engine that supercharges the movement for gender equality. Order the book in print or read online: https://lnkd.in/e9aKwDXq

Congratulations to longtime WMM member Barbara Bridges, who has been named a 2025 COLORADO WOMEN'S HALL OF FAME inductee! Since 1985, the organization has recognized women of various races, backgrounds, economic levels, career choices, political philosophies, and religious beliefs who are united by their outstanding contributions to society. As a founding member of WMM's initial campaign from 2007-2009, Barbara was part of a group of leaders who stepped up early to help create the largest group of individual donors making million-dollar gifts for women and girls. She also served many years on our Board, helping to advance our mission of catalyzing unprecedented resources for gender equality. We remain grateful for Barbara's steadfast leadership, support, and friendship.
