LeaderBridge

LeaderBridge is a program with three components:

​

1) Partnering with leadership program providers to increase outreach to leaders in the nonprofit sector.

​

2) Connecting nonprofit leaders to professional development opportunities.

​

3) Supporting a network of engaged nonprofit leaders as they grow professionally and help advance their organization's mission.

When women are in positions of leadership, economies and societies thrive. When women achieve representation, they exert positive influence at all levels. Programs that support the leadership of women and girls are critical to our community flourishing.

 

At the Crimsonbridge Foundation, we are committed to building the power of women and girls and increasing their representation in leadership positions in all sectors.

"If we are to support significant representation of women in public office, it will take an entire engaged and resourced ecosystem to build the strong infrastructure and national movement that underpins a robust, diverse leadership pipeline. With only 1.6% of all philanthropist resources going towards causes that support women and girls expressly, it can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. But with champions and investors [like the Crimsonbridge Foundation] in our corner, we can unlock the true power and influence of every woman’s voice, including our own."​
