Before we had our Education, Development, and Marketing teams, we had our Women's Board! This talented group of women established the foundation of SFMOMA as we know it today. From 1934-1977, the Women's Board raised money, organized social functions, and created educational programs — often working these events themselves. "They were of a type to respond with more conviction to other more serious interests," our founder Grace McCann Morley said in a 1960 interview. "That’s why I called on them so continuously and so urgently [...] to give me support in the educational development of the museum." See archival photos of the women in action, and learn more about their contributions to our museum: https://bit.ly/4c1eIjB P.S. Note their incredible office decor — Kenzo Okada's "Quality" (1956). This artwork is currently on view on Floor 2! [Photo from SFMOMA Archives, Women's Board Meeting with Grace McCann Morley, 1956] #InternationalWomensDay #WomensDay #SanFrancisco #ArtMuseums #BayArea

A domestic violence art exhibition? Derrick, why are you wasting your time with artists? I hear that feedback sometimes when I meet with investors and donors. My nonprofit, Duplessy Foundation, has helped women minority founders generate $10M in the last 2 years. Three of our founders have generated $2M in 2023. It would be easy for me to focus on the bigger businesses. The problem is money isn’t my sole focus. When I met Anne Plaisance in 2019, she had the ‘artiste’ starter kit. Black turtleneck (✅) Black leather portfolio (✅) French (✅) Her project Wonder Women Now was a photography book that highlighted survivors of domestic violence. Heroic poses were accentuated with masks that transformed their identity from victim to empowered. Over the next year, I worked with Anne to expand this project to cities around the world. Then she disappeared - for 2 weeks Anne resurfaced in a new home and hidden story. Anne herself was a survivor of domestic violence. Over the next year, I coached her through a new version of Wonder Women Now. It’s an interactive walk through a home in a wealthy suburb Each room is scattered with everyday objects and art Each room conveys a sequence of emotions for survivors of domestic violence Audio of the emotional ride from a mother and her child bring the rooms to life Oct 19, Anne is having an opening night of the exhibition in Cambridge. Oct 20 21 there will be additional showings Anyone interested in attending, comment or drop me a DM. (plenty of easy parking easy by public transport) I can’t think of anything better to do If you can’t make it, feel free to like, comment, and share

For black and brown artists to escape the “starving artist” narrative, we need a spotlight, center stage. But the unfortunate truth is, artists from our community often don't find those opportunities on the stages that define personal brands and careers. As an organization created by artists, for artists, my team decided to start from the bottom and build our own stage with edenat.org. This #GivingTuesday, you can help us get one step closer by donating to our mission—to create a paradise on earth for artists of color. 100% of your gifts go to: - Bringing the captivating 'Witness' Exhibit by Genel Ambrose to Miami during Miami Art Week, highlighting black women artists. - Offering exhibition opportunities to 10 underrepresented artists of color. - Providing lunches to 250 artists during our Creative Entrepreneurship Summit. - Creating performance opportunities for 5 talented musicians of color. - Ensuring fair compensation for 20 artists, creators, and chefs. - Hosting a community service day, distributing 1,000 lunches to Miami citizens in need. Will you help us reach our goal? Click to support! https://lnkd.in/g4FebUTz If you can’t donate, don’t trip! A simple re-share will create a whole lotta impact. See the comments for the event site if you want to attend! #EdenAt #GivingTuesday2023 #SupportArtistsOfColor"

AAWIC Giving Tuesday! On this Giving Tuesday, we want to share an inspiring story of resilience, empowerment, and a legacy that spans a quarter of a century. It's the story of African American Women In Cinema (AAWIC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been the unwavering backbone of support for women filmmakers for the past twenty-five years. For a quarter of a century, AAWIC has been a beacon of light for both experienced and novice filmmakers, directors, producers, screenwriters, and actors. Their mission is not just about showcasing talent; it's about expanding, exploring, and creating opportunities for minority women in the entertainment industry. AAWIC is the platform where dreams come true, where artistic women find their path, their voice, and their place in a traditionally male-dominated industry. But they don't stop at showcasing talent. AAWIC believes in nurturing the next generation of filmmakers. This is where you come in. Your support on this Giving Tuesday will enable AAWIC to continue its remarkable journey of empowering women in cinema. https://lnkd.in/et7Z4dEJ

“Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.” Maya Angelou “Hope” is my contribution to the annual ArtCan fundraiser. From ArtCan with Love is a one-night-only event offering postcard sized contemporary artworks donated by ArtCan artist members worldwide. Hundreds of unique pieces will be available for just £40 each. See exhibition details below. Remember – Friends of ArtCan get early access to the sale as part of their membership. As you can see from my posts, I am a great advocate of women but as a society we must not neglect boys. The world needs young men to know what masculinity looks like when men are at their best now the original narrative has been considerably revised and acknowledged. The book I’m currently immersed in (more to come on this one) is “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt. He talks about the rewiring of childhood from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood, and he has a chapter specifically on how phones/screens have affected boys. The first striking quote is this one: “ when we feel the social order weakening or dissolving, we don’t feel liberated; we feel lost and anxious”… Audio credit: @charliemackesy From ArtCan, With Love 23rd July 2024 6pm - 8pm Bermondsey Project Space, 183 - 185 Bermondsey Street, London, SE1 3UW #contemporaryart #artcanpostcard #hope #youngmentalhealth #fear #phonegeneration #anxiety #positivity #kindnessmatters #boys #rolemodelsmatter #childrenarethefuture #masculinity #figurativepainting

I am where I am today, because other women shared their knowledge and expertise freely. There's nothing more inspiring that women supporting women, because we know it's not a competition. There's room for us all to be successful. I carry a piece of each female mentor with me. Jenny Amory, taught me to negotiate prices and leverage nonprofit discounts. Kathryn A. (Katie) Wheeler taught me how to preserve authors' voices while editing. Katie Bayerl taught me how to apply a DBIE lens to my writing. Namrata Patel taught me to invest in my teams' present and futures and to make safe space for mistakes. Beth Bryant taught me how to refine my data analysis and projections. Laurie Heller taught me how to design within brand standards. Cassidy Leighton taught me so much about email accessibility. Tasha Booker M.ED taught me how to navigate the politics of organizations and leadership. To find myself now at the Trustees, surrounded by this talented sisterhood, is such a blessing.
We celebrate Women's History Month to remind everyone of the achievements of women throughout the years in our culture and society, and their significant moments in history. Women have always been an important part of The Trustees’ story—shaping the organization from its beginnings to the current day. Miss Ellen Chase and Mrs. Fanny Foster Tudor are named as the only two “Founders” in the Trustees’ 2nd Annual Report (1892), an acknowledgement of their donations of $1,000 or more in land or money. Other early supporters include Bostonians Sarah Crocker and Anna T. Phillips, Mary Sophia Walker of Waltham and Amelia Peabody, was the largest landover in the town of Dover at one point. Powisset Farm and Noanet Woodlands came to The Trustees from Ms. Peabody. Barbara J. Erickson joined The Trustees in 2012 as its first female President & CEO and in 2023, Katie Theoharides become the second female President & CEO. Today we honor the women of The Trustees. Women hold positions across the organization, from rangers to curators to ecologists to marketing and so much more. Women are represented in every area of The Trustees organization, and we couldn't be prouder of that. To all the women of The Trustees we want to say THANK YOU for your contributions and lasting impact. #TheTrustees #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenoftheTrustees #Accessibility [Description: Photo grid showing some of the women who work for The Trustees in their various roles at the organization.]

Despite all of the power and potential of feminist movements for decades, feminist movements have been under-resourced. Today, less than 1% of philanthropic funding goes to feminist movements and activists. Yet, when money comes into the hands of womn and activists they have the power to drive change on some of the most pressing rights issues of our time. Watch “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐬 𝐖𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲”, a documentary short film on the change that is possible when womn take the lead, produced by our sisters at Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism https://lnkd.in/eBqWbEVs

Founder and Director at Wilson Marshall PR Special Events | Award-winning Communications Professional | Public Speaker | Crain’s NY Business 2023 Notable Leader in Advertising, Marketing & Public Relations
Great clients = great coverage! To all business owners and non-profit organizations, I want to emphasize the importance of public relations and marketing communications. Let me share with you a success story of The Knowledge House, a non-profit organization I began representing three years ago with their national expansion (big thanks to Jerelyn Rodriguez and former employee Antoinette G..) I was chosen as their PR consultant because of my effective strategies in storytelling. I didn't limit myself to media relations but also utilized different ways to reach different audiences, including award submissions. My efforts paid off when Jerelyn Rodriguez, founder of The Knowledge House, was recognized with the Nexstar Media Group, Inc. "Remarkable Woman of The Year" award, which led to national media coverage, a trip to L.A. for Jerelyn, and a $10,000 donation to the organization on their 10th anniversary. Investing in PR and marketing communications with the right people and agencies is crucial. Value their experience and guidance. #PR is a marathon, not a sprint.
🌟 We're thrilled to announce that Jerelyn Rodriguez , CEO & Co-Founder of The Knowledge House, has been named 2024 Remarkable Women winner by Nexstar Media Group, Inc. and PIX11. During a ceremony at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, Jerelyn was honored for her dedication to teaching coding and digital skills in underserved communities, ultimately aiming to lift people out of poverty by preparing them for high-paying tech jobs. https://bit.ly/3JdQXYl In recognition of her outstanding work, Pix11 has donated $1,000 and the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation has donated $10,000 to Jerelyn and The Knowledge House.

We're standing alongside over 3,000 incredible nonprofits this North Texas Giving Day, each with a powerful story and mission. At KWC, our story is intertwined with every child who has found their voice, confidence, and direction through performing arts. Why donate to KWC Performing Arts? Let us tell you! 1. EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE: A pivotal study by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) underscores that youths engaged in the arts achieve greater success both academically and socially. The arts don't just nurture talent; they substantially boost the chances of success in life. 2. CIVIC ENGAGEMENT BOOST: Arts involvement is more than self-expression. It's shown to increase civic participation, inspiring our kids to not only cultivate art but to actively shape their communities. 3. OUR LOCAL LANDSCAPE: 77% of FWISD kids are at-risk. Our mission transcends teaching arts; it's about guiding their holistic growth, sparking creativity, and igniting their entrepreneurial zeal. 4. OUR PLEDGE TO POTENTIAL: We champion potential over privilege. It's why 35-40% of our kids benefit from full or partial scholarships. Every voice deserves an echo; every step, an audience; every vision, a spotlight. Your contribution today is an investment in dreams, futures, and the boundless potential of our youth! https://lnkd.in/guViZv8P #NorthTexasGivingDay #SupportTheArts #KWCPerformingArts #KidsWhoCare #NTXGivingDay2023 #FindYourPassionGiveWithPurpose
