March is Tamara's month and the theme is
Give to Gain
 
 
International Women's Day, March 8, celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality as declared by the United Nations under the theme of, "Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls".  
 
The UN calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and
 
When we give, we gain.
 
Together, let's help forge gender equality through abundant giving.
 
Give to Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase.
 
The month of March will focus on this theme of Give to Gain under the theme of Rights. Justice. Action for All.
 
We will have the opportunity to learn about the role women are taking to lead, social enterprise for social impact, and how community foundations create relationships and lasting impact.
 
Together, we can build a world leaving no one behind.
