FUTURE FORWARD CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
<p dir="ltr">Forward Women’s Leadership Forum (FWLF) is stepping boldly into a new chapter. We are launching our first-ever <strong>Capital Campaign</strong> to strengthen our mission and sustain the programs that empower women and youth across Maryland.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With the theme “If Not Now, When?”, the campaign calls on our community to invest in the future of Forward through giving, advocacy, and connection. Our goal is to raise <strong>$100,000 by March 1, 2027</strong> supporting five core initiatives that build visibility, sustainability, and impact:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Camp Learn & Lead Expansion ($40,000)</strong> – Extending our youth leadership and entrepreneurship camp to serve more students.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Forward Leadership Classroom ($25,000) </strong>– Developing year-round programs that prepare women to lead in business, community, and in the workplace</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Scholarships for Women ($20,000) </strong>– Funding higher education and opportunities for Maryland’s rising leaders. Application is HERE</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Purse Pitch Competition Fund ($10,000)</strong> – Fueling the next generation of women-owned startups.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Forward Podcast “Are You Ready?” ($5,000) </strong>– Elevating women’s voices through storytelling and digital empowerment.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Every gift matters — whether $25 or $10,000 — because each contribution builds the foundation for the next woman’s success story. Donors will receive recognition through our <strong>Visionary Circle, Change Makers, Forward Partners, </strong>and <strong>Community Champions</strong> levels, celebrating the power of community and generosity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The campaign begins <strong>December 3, 2025</strong>, with a quiet launch led by our Board and sponsors, followed by a public launch on <strong>December 16</strong> for the<strong> “Season of Giving Forward.”</strong> Together, we’ll build momentum leading up to our <strong>8th Annual Forum on March 6, 2026</strong>, where we’ll celebrate every donor and every milestone reached.</p>
