A great way to pass along your feminist ideals!
When you include Mama Cash in your will, you leave behind more than just money. You pass on your belief that a better world is both necessary and possible. And you keep alive your conviction that activists and organisations that stand up for women’s rights are the drivers of crucial and lasting change.
Three excellent reasons for leaving money to Mama Cash
- 1. You keep movements alive
The power needed to bring about real change arises when women join forces and work together to achieve what is necessary. When you leave money to Mama Cash, you are helping to create opportunities for new generations of activists fighting for women's rights. This is important, as the organisations and movements that Mama Cash support receive very little funding from mainstream sources.
- 2. You give more than money
By including Mama Cash in your will, you pass on your belief that a better world is both necessary and possible. You also send a strong message of trust and solidarity to the women who are on the frontlines of the struggle for change.
- 3. You can trust Mama Cash
Although Mama Cash is sometimes radical, we are also always careful. We know how to use money to achieve lasting results. We believe in offering support and networking opportunities in addition to money, so that groups can grow in size and impact. Furthermore, we plant seeds for new women's funds all over the world. In this way, we increase feminists' control over their own resources.
