In the United States and around the world, women and girls are facing increasing threats to their safety, health, and rights. Our founder, Melinda French Gates, wants to help alter that trajectory. Earlier today, she announced she’s committing $1 billion over the next two years to leaders and organizations working to advance women’s power globally. Head to our website to learn more about some of the places those resources will go: https://lnkd.in/gDpbYMuK
What a S/Hero!!
Estoy muy de acuerdo por la manifestado por Melinda French Gates, en muchos países del mundo todavía prevalece la autoridad del hombre y la mujer siempre a sido mantenido en segundo plano donde son muy pacas las ocaciones donde ha destacado. Creo, que las mujeres den tener las mismas oportunidades que el varón, porque están preparadas como madres y su desempeño en cualquier sector económico o de servicio tendrá un desempeño eficaz. En momentos actuales la mujer debe ser considerada como una persona activa en el desempeño de cualquier función pública y privada, ya que es muy organizada, porque eso viene de casa y tiene la capacidad para demostrarlo. Creo, que desde su gestación la mujer debe tener una mejor atención en todo lo se requiera para traer al mundo niños y niñas sanas, fuertes e inteligentes, siendo la alimentación una de las principales
Empowering women and girls is undeniably crucial for the advancement of our world. When we uplift women, we ignite a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond individual lives. By investing in education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for women and girls, we unlock their full potential, fostering stronger communities, more robust economies, and a more equitable society. Empowered women are catalysts for progress. They are more likely to reinvest their earnings back into their families and communities, leading to improved health, education, and living standards for all.To most effectively assist global communities, focus on sustainable solutions that empower people. Collaborate with local organizations to ensure aid aligns with community needs and capacities. Prioritize long-term development over short-term relief.
The percentage of charitable giving directed at nonprofits that support women and girls is shockingly low. Thank you for your commitment to making the world a better place! As a former CEO of two organizations that empower women, I know just how much this will mean to the nonprofits you will be supporting.
Based on the initiative in the post, I’d like to go out on a limb and request sponsorship support for our girls only robotics teams. Polytechnic Puzzle Pieces (P3) 16751 and Gear Girls 23469 are Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics Teams comprised of students in 8th-12th grades, based in the St. Louis Metro-East area. P3 has been a successful FTC team since 2018 and currently is in our 5th season. We are proud to acknowledge we have been the first and longest running all-female robotics team in the Southern Illinois Region. Gear Girls became age-eligible to be inaugurated into FTC last year in 2023 and our now the only 2nd all-girl led FTC team in Southern Illinois. Our teams have been sustained thanks to the incredibly generous sponsorship from Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois and our community, which is why we are seeking support!
I applaude you Melinda. I work for Catholic nuns - some of the first woman lead organizations. I am proud to be their CEO and I want to make an impact on affordable housing. One of the most basic needs is housing. I wish you much ci timers Success. Carith Ministries is focused on preserving Catholic real estate in local communities to serve those conmunities with special preference to the poor and disenfranchised. .
Pivotal Ventures Melinda French Gates 💪🏼I want to share my personal story to highlight the incredible impact that support from non-profits, grants, and scholarships can have on someone's life. I grew up in China, where the culture often favors boys, and had to drop out of school due to financial constraints. However, I never gave up on my dream of going to college. I learned another language, earned my ESL advanced certification, GED, Associate's degree, and finally, a bachelor's degree from Penn State. All of this was possible because of my determination and the support I received from a non-profit program. My life has completely changed! I am now the founder of CoCarting.com, a platform that aims to impact relationships worldwide through collaborative shopping. Without the support from non-profits, the good-hearted people like you, Melinda, I would not have been able to rewrite my destiny. I found my purpose in impacting others, and I share this because I believe in what you do. There are so many women like me who just need a pair of wings to figure out how to fly and how to fly high. Thank you, with all my heart, for your incredible support and for believing in the power of women and girls around the world. 😊 Love you back!

Life is short enjoy.Congratulation, the good work that you are doing keep going don’t stop in the meantime. Enjoy your grandchildren. Take good care of yourself with good health. I pray for you.

3moPeople like you who use a substantial percentage of whatever wealth they have amassed (which of course we’d expect to vary amongst people of different socioeconomic backgrounds) to unselfishly give back to where it will make the most difference in a war-torn era with a complementary Global mental health Crisis, are Heroes, not only for the causes themselves directly, but for the people they inspire to follow suit via the publicity, and for the suicides they prevent. Especially if the funds hit organizations with a proven track record of doing so much more with so much less, the true impact will be immeasurably monumental. Bravo.
