Speakers from Women's Foundation of Montana

Our speakers at our meeting this week were Jen Euell and Kelsey Mahoney of the Women’s Foundation of Montana.  The Women’s Foundation of Montana’s work benefits women and girls as well as our communities overall.  As the only statewide fund dedicated to funding for women and girls, donations are leveraged through an endowment.  Their research, initiatives and grant-making are focused on lasting change for women and girls.  Issues that they address include closing the gender pay gap, increasing financial independence for Montana women and girls, and tracking the status of women in Montana.

 

A recent project is Powerhouse Montana, an initiative with the goal of connecting Montana women with the resources, mentors and opportunities they need to create thriving businesses and thriving lives and increasing the number of Montana women in leadership roles.  The web site for this initiative is www.PowerHouseMT.org.
