Extend the Impact of your Giving
Becoming a SustainHer means you are leading the charge to advance women in our region through consistent financial support.
What is a WFSTL SustainHer?
SustainHers are highly valued WFSTL donors who are committed to supporting our regional change efforts on a monthly basis. They enhance the impact of their giving by setting up an automatic monthly payment of at least $5.00 per month. The average monthly gift amount for SustainHers is $25.00.
Why should I become a SustainHer?
IMPACT: Our work to advance women economically depends on gifts from the community. SustainHers increase the impact of their gifts without stretching their pocketbooks. Monthly payments spread out the cost of your donation over a series of months making them more tolerable for your budget and allowing you to plan your giving expenses better.
CONVENIENCE: Just like your monthly Netflix subscription, becoming a SustainHer sets you up to make automatic monthly payments so you don’t have to worry about any additional paperwork or management!
STABILITY: Monthly giving programs allow nonprofits to depend on a more stable revenue stream. Rather than trying to guess how many donations will come in each month, we will have a baseline of monthly donations that we know will be available and that can be budgeted more intentionally. This helps us to ensure the most effective use of donor funds.
Track our Progress
Throughout the month of July, we are working toward a goal of recruiting 20 new SustainHers to fund an expansion of our workplace change programs. We'll keep you updated on our progress toward our campaign goals.
We met our goal of recruiting 20 new SustainHers! Thank you!
Now, we’re pursuing our stretch goal of 25 new SustainHers (and we’re almost there!).
What do SustainHers Receive?
All donations to WFSTL are tax deductible. In addition, SustainHers who sign up before August 1, 2021 will receive a free virtual ticket to Making a Difference 2021 (September 23, 2021).*
We will also be hosting a special event later this year just for SustainHers: a meet & greet with the WFSTL Executive Director and Board of Directors. This event is an opportunity to learn more about WFSTL’s strategic direction and to share your own feedback and suggestions for the organization.
*All current SustainHers will also receive their free virtual Making a Difference ticket!
What am I committing to as a SustainHer?
When signing up to become a SustainHer, you are committing to giving a donation of at least $5.00 that will be automatically withdrawn from your account on an ongoing, monthly basis until you cancel your subscription.
What does my gift pay for?
SustainHer donations are used to sustain our workplace, individual, and policy change efforts that advance women in the St. Louis region economically. These efforts include developing our Women in the Workplace Community Report through research, survey collection, employer interviews, and graphic design; hosting virtual and in-person educational events with community leaders and experts; advocating for local and statewide policies that support working women and families through meetings with public officials, submitting testimonies, and mobilizing the community; and providing grants to deserving nonprofits serving St. Louis women.
Currently, we are raising additional funds to expand our workplace change efforts. In August, WFSTL will be hosting Employer Roundtables to learn more about what employers need to better support women in the workplace. We will use this research to expand our Women in the Workplace Scorecard Initiative with new, innovative workplace change programs.
Will you help us reach our goal and create lasting change for our region?
