What will you do with the 5000 Dollars?
As a large and well established organization, Equality Now clearly deals with a lot of different issues. If Equality Now wins this grant, can you tell us with any specificity how the $5000 will be spent. Will it go towards operating expenses or channeled into a specific program, and if so, which one?See More

Sustainability
As a new organization, do you have a plan for sustaining funding over the next few years? If you win this grant and expand to more and more schools, will your expansion significantly increase your expenses? I'm interested in your plan to sustain the project and continue working on this issue into the future.See More
Quinn liked Deborah Lubbe's TeamCamp VOICE

I'm Payton M, a 5fer intern, and am just dropping by to say "Thank you!" for being such a loyal and active 5fer. It is because of members like you that we have been able to give away seven (yes, seven!) $5000 grants to organizations working to make the world fair for girls and women - and we're only a few hundred dollars away from our eighth! We are so appreciative of the way you have put up with all our many growing pains and hope you keep on believing in our circle and the good we can do. Thanks again…

Hi Quinn,
I’m the co-founder of Women LEAD, one of the teams competing for the grant this month. I’d love your support to empower more than 200 young women in Nepal to become leaders in their schools and communities. Your vote would help us build the capacity of future female leaders to tackle the root causes of poverty and discrimination. Please check out our page and website to see the work that we do and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Holly said… Because of your past support of The Global Fund For Women, which has not been active in this grant cycle, I am writing to ask if you would consider sharing your support with The Orchid Project. The Orchid Projects sole aim is to end the practice of female genital cutting.
As a woman and a mother I feel compelled to do my part to end the human rights violation that three million girls suffer each year as their genitals are cut without permission or anastasia.
The Orchid Project works to end FGC by respectfully raising awareness of FCG, connecting individuals and local, national, and international organizations, and advocacy.
I know Orchid would be so grateful for your support and that this $5,000 would mean a lot to their work. Please consider supporting them to get through to the next round.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your consideration,
Holly
