The Harvard Kennedy School Women's Alumni Network needs your support.
The Harvard Kennedy School Women’s Alumni Network is excited to announce the launch of our 2024 Fundraising Campaign! We’re asking for your support so that we can continue to connect more HKS alumnae around the world, amplifying the voices of our many members.
$10 Can Go A Long Way!
While $10 can probably buy you a good cup of coffee and a pastry at a local diner, it goes a long way to supporting the work of the Harvard Kennedy School Women’s Network (HKSWN).
The HKSWN has a large membership — almost 8,000 members around the world — and it is growing! A $10 donation from each of its members results in a large sum of funds that will allow us to develop our network programming and projects to support our members.
Please consider a tax-deductible donation (in the US only) of $10 or more by tapping on the link below. Thanks for contributing and helping make the $10 difference, because a little goes a long way!
In 2023, our members were able to help draft international, gender-focused policy and get recognized as experts in their field at some of the highest levels, such as the Women20 of the G20, the World Trade Organization and the United Nations. This is in addition to organizing local in-person events that bring HKS alumnae together in more than 50 chapters throughout the world, and holding high-impact, virtual, global events on policy areas ranging from artificial intelligence to the future of work, climate change, care infrastructure, DEIB, and entrepreneurship, to mention a few.
All this is done exclusively by volunteers. To effectively implement our collaborative initiatives, we need your support! Whether you can donate a small amount or make a larger commitment, your contribution will have an impact on the lives of women around the world. Together, we can build a future where HKS alumnae are strongly and collectively represented at the highest levels, and mobilized for a world where women's voices are heard and valued, and gender equity is a reality.
Your gift of $50, $100, $250 or more -as a single gift or recurring- will enable us to drive meaningful change on a global scale. Every gift counts. Donate now, so that HKSWN can continue its work connecting women around the world for meaningful change.
Thank you for your support!
