Our Gems & Giving Circle

Our global ConnectHER community is supported by recurring donations from our ConnectHER Gems and ConnectHER Giving Circle. For $25 a month, Giving Circle members support our portfolio of female-founded, locally led projects. With a $100 donation every month, ConnectHER Gems help sustain and scale our work, which includes our global project portfolio and the ConnectHER Film Festival.

"Being a Gem is a great way to feel connected to the people you are helping,” she says. “You don’t have to be a huge donor like the Gates Foundation to make a difference. Big changes happen one person at a time."

"ConnectHER and its film festival helps shine a light on the stories of women and girls. We say, “Be bold and be brave. We’re here to wrap our arms around you and lift you up."
