Join Our Network
Are you a bold woman* funder or investor who wants to leverage your resources for a regenerative and equitable economy, clean air and water, and a healthy environment for all? Do you want to be a part of a dynamic community of sounding boards, advocates, allies, and friends? We invite you to join our community and become a Rachel today.
Since 2000, our network has collectively granted over $3.1 million towards women leaders at the frontlines of our movement and organizations fighting for a thriving planet and communities. We offer in-person events and webinars on timely topics, collective funding and networking opportunities, and tools to take your giving to the next level (see more below).
If you’re not a funder (or not yet ready to join), but want to keep up with Rachel’s Network, sign up here to join our mailing list or make a donation.
*Rachel’s Network welcomes cis and trans women and gender expansive and nonbinary members.
