Pen-Elayne on the Web

Blogathon 2003 - Post #2
About the Global Fund for Women
The charity receiving Pen-Elayne sponsors' kind and generous moneys is "a grantmaking foundation supporting women's human rights organizations around the world working to address critical issues such as gaining economic independence, increasing girls' access to education and stopping violence against women." Since 1987 they've provided $25.5 million to 2000 women's groups in 161 countries (over $4.5 million last year alone), enabling each organization to apply the funds to best address the specific needs of women in their communities. You can read last year's Annual Report here, and their newsletter (which I believe is quarterly) here. Of the dozen participants blogging on behalf of this charity, Pen-Elayne sponsors will be raising (so far) the second highest amount. Thank you again, folks.
