We are on a mission to organize, connect, and advance Women of Color in fundraising so they gain leadership power, economic mobility, and governance influence—strengthening grassroots movements from the inside out.
VISION
-
A philanthropic ecosystem where women of color fundraisers hold leadership, governance, and economic power—not just responsibility.
-
Grassroots movements resourced and sustained by leaders rooted in lived experience and collective accountability.
-
A sector transformed from extraction and isolation to shared power, durability, and justice.
VALUES
-
Collective Power Over Isolation We organize, not just gather. Community is our strategy for shifting systems.
-
Leadership With Accountability We center women of color as decision-makers shaping how resources flow.
-
Care as Strategy. Sustainability, rest, and shared responsibility are essential to movement durability.
HISTORY
F3 began in Atlanta, Georgia, when a small group of Women of Color in nonprofit fundraising started gathering bi-monthly to navigate isolation, marginalization, and dismissal within the sector. What began as a space for solidarity and shared experience revealed something larger: these women were sustaining movements financially, often without recognition or authority.
Rooted in mutual respect, shared lived experience, and a commitment to transformative giving, F3 evolved from a support circle into a national organizing network—building collective power, leadership pathways, and governance influence for women of color fundraisers.
