In a moment when our work for a better world can feel daunting, it has been grounding and energizing to hear from the women in our community about their courage and successes. Our network of environmental funders and advocates are showing up: with clarity, courage, and a deep commitment to doing and resourcing work that might otherwise be overlooked.
Rachel’s Network, a nonprofit that elevates and supports women environmental leaders, today announced the addition of three new members to its board of directors: Judith Albert, Letarik Amare, and Kimberly Middleton. Following these appointments, the board comprises 16 directors.
Rachel’s Network has received a generous gift to establish a flow fund circle. This fund will enable a group of ten flow funders to distribute $10,000 grants to organizations of their choosing. Flow funders will be comprised of a select group of Rachel’s Network Catalyst Award alumni who have deep roots in community.
We constantly strive to ensure that the Catalyst Award remains accessible, inclusive, and reflective of the values we want to see in the environmental movement. Here’s how our award review process has changed over the years.
Rachel’s Network announced the awardees and finalists of its 2025 Catalyst Award. Now in its seventh year, the Catalyst Award honors women leaders of color for their commitment to a healthy planet, and provides them with financial and leadership support, and public recognition.
