Empowering: We connect with students, travelers, and families reminding them of our collective shared status, our origin stories, and the inherent creativity of the human experience for the empowerment of all.
Impactful: We are devoted to educating the world about the contributions and experience of women, m/others, and birthing folx both historically and in contemporary culture. We intend to fill a longstanding void by focusing on the many roles of women and mothers through our exhibits, events, resource center, scholarship, and educational partnerships. We are taking our rightful place in the museum world.
Statistics for Why We Need MoM Now!
-Charitable giving to women and girls organizations represents less than 2% of all philanthropic activity in the U.S. Source
– 11 % of U.S. History books are about women. Some statistics are lower. Source
– 11 % of museum collections contain art made by women. Source
-Of the 400 museums in Florida, not one is devoted to the art, science, and history of women. (FAM)
-Women’s rights and resources are under attack around the world. Making ourselves visible and owning space that belongs to ‘us’ is imperative.
-With these dismal statistics, its important to note, that the first round of our fundraiser resulted in donations equalling $4k which is in fact 4% of our total goal – beating national statistics on the success of women and girls organizations. Let’s keep it up!
