  • Use of Funds
    Funds collected will be used by Stonewall to support select local, regional, and national women’s programs and events. These may include:
    guest speakers, workshops, exhibitions, and other activities leveraging the expertise and contacts of the Stonewall National Museum, Archives, & Library.
  • Responsibilities of Members and Leadership 
    Members to actively engage in programs, fundraising, and organizational growth.   
    Leadership roles to guide chapters and contribute to the broader agenda. 

  • Get Involved
    In addition to monetary contributions, chapters are encouraged to donate historic and cultural items and materials to the Stonewall Archives and Library in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. These items may be included in traveling exhibits and made available to researchers, academics, writers, and others to ensure our stories are told. They will become part of the National Stonewall Women’s Fund Archives.

    A chapter is formed once the initial twenty core members are assembled, each committed to a three-year term and a minimum financial commitment of $1,000 per year for three years. The group will select a representative to the national committee, participate in planning, and be considered for other roles within the Stonewall community.
