Dear Friends,  

Happy New Year!  

The first thing I want to say in 2025 is: Thank you. Thank you for supporting women and girls around the globe.  

 Because of thousands of generous donors and advocates like you, we will be able to deliver essential support to feminist activists who have a bold vision for equality for all. You are a critical part of this work, and I’m grateful for your trust.  

Today we are watching politicians actively attack rights and democracy. But feminist movements are rising up, fighting back, and pressing forward. My commitment to these movements is that Global Fund for Women will continue to show up for them, giving them the trust they deserve and the resources they need to succeed in 2025.  

I believe deeply in our vision of a world where movements for gender justice have transformed power and privilege for a few into equity and equality for all. And I believe now is our moment to double down.  

 You are a key part of this vision. With your support, we can ensure that feminist activists have the resources and trust they need to make long-lasting change. Thank you, once again, for your generosity. I look forward to your partnership as we continue this vital work in 2025.  

With gratitude,
