Who are Kindred Spirits? Anyone who is a passionate, ardent and fearless advocate for the Maine Women’s Fund and wants to: ♦ Raise awareness of the MWF ♦ Meet kindred spirits through the work of the Fund ♦ Have fun
Why Kindred Spirits? We have heard from many supporters wishing to become more connected to the Maine Women’s Fund, but who do not necessarily know how. Kindred Spirits is a way for supporters of the Fund to connect with each other locally, and to find innovative and exciting ways to raise awareness about the Maine Women’s Fund and local grantee organizations.
What is Expected of Kindred Spirits? The expectations are simple. Let us know: ♦ You are a Kindred Spirit ♦ What you are planning and what support you need ♦ Your thoughts and feedback
What you can do With support from the Fund Kindred Spirits are supporters of the MWF who are willing to raise awareness by: ♦ Organizing house parties and gatherings. ♦ Working with local libraries and other community centers to host the 10th Anniversary Com memorative Quilt. ♦ Identifying new leaders to participate in the New Girls Network - a program for women in their 20’s and 30’s to explore feminism, leadership and philanthropy. ♦ Organizing activities around your particular interests, such as an Every Woman’s Garden Tour or a book club discussion group. ♦ Inviting staff and volunteers to speak to your local civic and professional groups. ♦ Organizing a presentation of Money Talks—a play and discussion about women & money. ♦ Introducing MaineShare to your workplace—an option for charitable payroll deduction, funding non-profit organizations working to prevent and solve human and environmental problems.
HOW DO I BECOME A KINDRED SPIRIT? Sign up online at www.mainewomensfund.org or contact Liz Anderson for more details at 774_5513 or [email protected].
